As we learnt in 

Alcohol formation by reduction of carboxylic acids -

Yields primary alcohol.

- wherein

RCOOH+LiAlH_{4}\rightarrow RCH_{2}OH

 

 

Preparation of alcohol -

By treatment with  ag.KOH  or moist  Ag2O

- wherein

RX+KOH(ag)\rightarrow ROH+KX


RX+Ag_{2}O(moist)\rightarrow ROH+AgX

 

 CH_{3}Br \xrightarrow{} {KCN}CH_{3}CN \xrightarrow{}{H_{3}O^{+}}CH_{3}COOH \xrightarrow {LiAlH_{4}} \underset{Ethyl\ Alcohol}{CH_{3}CH_{2}OH}
