Identify the name of the reaction in which a carbonyl compound reacts with hydrazine followed by a strong base like potassium hydroxide (KOH) or potassium tert-butoxide in solvents like diethylene glycol (DEG) or dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) to give a hydrocarbon.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is option 3. Wolff-Kishner reduction.
Wolff-Kishner reduction involves the treatment of a carbonyl compound reacts with hydrazine followed by a strong base like potassium hydroxide (KOH) or potassium tert-butoxide in solvents like diethylene glycol (DEG) or dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) to give a hydrocarbon.
