Identify name of reaction when aldehyde or ketone react with \(\mathrm{Zn}-\mathrm{Hg} / \mathrm{conc}\). HCl to give alkane.
- A Stephen reduction
- B Clemmensen reduction
- C Wolf Kishner reduction
- D Rosenmund reduction
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Clemmensen reduction
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\underset{\text{Alkane}}{\mathrm{R}-\underset{|| \atop \large \mathrm{O}}{\mathrm{C}}-\mathrm{H} / \mathrm{R}^{\prime}}-\xrightarrow[\text { conc. } \mathrm{HCl}]{\mathrm{Zn} / \mathrm{Hg}} \underset{\text{Aldehyde/Ketone}}{\mathrm{R}-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{R}^{\prime} / \mathrm{H}}\)
This is Clemmenson reduction.
This is Clemmenson reduction.
