Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

1. The conversion is from an ester (methyl benzoate) to an aldehyde (benzaldehyde).2. is too strong and would reduce the ester all the way to a primary alcohol.3. (also known as DIBAL-H) is a selective reducing agent.4. At low temperatures, DIBAL-H reduces esters specifically to aldehydes.The suitable reagent is (i) , (ii) .
