    Madhumathy, your 2nd reaction is right...Sodium borohydride doesn't reduce nitro group to amino group ...In 1st reaction LiALH4 reduces both NO2 group to amino group and CHO group to alcoholic group...So correct only 1st one.

  • Suman Kumar

    liAlH4 will also reduce -CHO group to -CH2OH

    It is known that solely sodium borohydride does not reduce nitro compounds under ordinary conditions.
