1.	(Q.161) The hydride ion transfer takes place at each step in thereduction done by using 1 mark(a H2 in the presence of Nickel.(b Sodium in the presence of ethanol.(c LiAlH4.d Zn and NH4OH.
Answer» EXPLANATION: Hydride ion transfer The first partial reaction, the hydride transfer, requires the cofactor nicotinamide ADENINE dinucleotide PHOSPHATE (NADPH). NADPH serves as a source for two electrons and a PROTON (H(+)), the equivalent of a hydride ANION, H(-). Hydride transfer reactions play a key role in many biological systems.
