  • question_answer
    Which one of the following reactions cannot be used for the reduction of

    A)  HI and red phosphorus at\[200{}^\circ C\]

    B)  Wolff-Kishner reduction

    C)  Clemmensen reduction

    D)  Wurtz reaction

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    Wurtz reaction is the condensation of alkyl halides with metallic sodium in the presence of dry ether to form higher hydrocarbons. Carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones) can be converted into hydrocarbon by means of heating with HI and red P at  about \[200{}^\circ C,\]  Clemmensen  reduction\[(Zn+Hg/HCl)\]and Wolff-Kishner reduction\[(N{{H}_{2}}N{{H}_{2}}/OH)\].
