Answer:

CH3CHO to CH3CH2OH

Step-by-step explanation:

The reduction of aldehydes to alcohols in organic chemistry is achieved by the use of important reducing agents.

The summary of this reduction reaction is shown below:

CH3CHO + H2 → CH3CH2OH

This is an important way of synthesizing alcohols from aldehydes
