A) \[LiAl{{H}_{4}}\] in \[{{H}_{2}}O\]
B) glycol and \[KOH\]
C) Zn-Hg and \[HCl\]
D) \[{{H}_{2}}\] and Pd catalyst
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Reduction of \[>C=O\] compounds to alkanes (\[>C{{H}_{2}}\] group) by Zn-Hg and \[HCl\] is known as Clemmensen reduction. \[>C=O\xrightarrow[[4H]]{Zn-Hg/HCl}>C{{H}_{2}}+{{H}_{2}}O\]
