    Reduction of can be carried out with:

    A) Catalytic reduction

    B) \[Na/{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH\]

    C) Wolff-kishner reduction

    D) \[LiAl{{H}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Wolf-kishner reduction In this reaction, aldehyde or ketone is heated with hydrazine and KOH in a high boiling solvent such a ethylene glycol. And with HI + P (Red), aldehyde or ketone is reduced to corresponding alkane. For example \[C{{H}_{3}}COC{{H}_{3}}+4HI\xrightarrow[423\,k]{\operatorname{Re}d\,P}C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}+{{H}_{2}}O+2{{I}_{2}}\]
