A) Clemmensen reduction
B) Cope reduction
C) Dow reduction
D) Wolff-Kishner reduction
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
Carbonyl group is reduced to alkyi group by means either Clemmensen reduction\[(Zn-Hg/HCl)\]or Wolff-Kishner reduction.\[(N{{H}_{2}}N{{H}_{2}}/{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}ONa\]. Here carbonyl groups is reduced by using hydrazine and sodium ethoxide, thus it is an example of Wolff-Kishner reduction.You need to login to perform this action.
