The reaction,\[{{R}_{2}}C=NN{{H}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}ONa}{{R}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}+{{N}_{2}}\] is called
A) Clemmensen reduction
B) Hunsdiecker reaction
C) Tischenko reaction
D) Wolff-Kishner reduction
Correct Answer:
D
Solution :
Carbonyl compounds give alkane, on reaction with a mixture of hydrazine and \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}ONa\] in the presence of ethylene glycol. This reaction is called Wolff-Kishner reduction.
