    Acetone can easily be converted into propane by the action of:

    A)  \[HI\]                  

    B)         \[{{H}_{3}}P{{O}_{3}}\]

    C)         \[HN{{O}_{3}}\]              

    D)         \[HI{{O}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Acetone can easily be converted to propane by reduction with \[Zn(Hg)/HCl\] (Clemmensens reduction) \[N{{H}_{2}}-N{{H}_{2}}/KOH\]at \[455-475K\] (Wolff-Kishner reduction) HI/P at 424 K \[C{{H}_{3}}COC{{H}_{3}}\xrightarrow{\operatorname{Re}duction}\underset{\text{Propane}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}+{{H}_{2}}O}}\,\]
