Which of the following reagents converts both acetaldehyde and acetone to alkanes?
A)\[Ni/{{H}_{2}}\]
B) \[LiAl{{H}_{4}}\]
C) \[{{l}_{2}}/NaOH\]
D) \[Zn-Hg/HCl\]
Correct Answer:
D
Solution :
\[\text{ZnHg}\,\text{+}\,\text{HCl}\] (Clemmensens reduction) or \[N{{H}_{2}}-N{{H}_{2}},\,KOH+\]glycol) Wolff-Kishner reaction can be used to convert group into group.
