Conversion of \(\mathrm{X}\) into \(\mathrm{Y}\) is an example of the reaction
- A Rosenmund reduction
- B Clemmensen reduction
- C Wolff-Kishner reduction
- D Stephen reduction
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Clemmensen reduction
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
When benzene reacts with acetylchloride in presence of lewis acid \(\left(\mathrm{AlCl}_3\right)\), it yields acetophenone \((\mathrm{X})\). The reduction of ketones or aldehydes by using zinc amalgam and concentrated hydrochloric acid yields alkenes. This reaction is known as…
