  1. A \(NH_2NH_2;\ KOH,\ glycol\)
  2. B \(LiAlH_4/ether\)
  3. C \(NaBH_4\)
  4. D \(H_2/Ni\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(NH_2NH_2;\ KOH,\ glycol\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(CH_3CH_2COCH_3\) (ketone) is reduced to \(CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_3\) (alkane). Reagent Y is for Wolff-Kishner reduction. Y = \(NH_2NH_2; KOH, glycol\)
