Chemistry - Carbonyl compounds Question with Solution | TestHub

${\mathrm{CH}}_3{\mathrm{COCH}}_3$ can be converted to ${\mathrm{CH}}_3{\mathrm{CH}}_2{\mathrm{CH}}_3$ by reduction process in which the ketone is heated with hydroiodic acid and red phosphorus. $${\mathrm{CH}}_3{\mathrm{COCH}}_3+\mathrm{HI}\stackrel{\mathrm{P}}{⟶}{\mathrm{CH}}_3{\mathrm{CH}}_2{\mathrm{CH}}_3$$
