Chemistry - Carbonyl compounds Question with Solution | TestHub

The heating of carbonyl compounds with${\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{N}\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{H}}_2$and strong base is called Wolf-Kishner reduction.

$\mathrm{R}\mathrm{C}\mathrm{H}=\mathrm{O}+{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{N}\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{H}}_2\to \mathrm{R}\mathrm{C}\mathrm{H}=\mathrm{N}\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{H}}_2\stackrel{\mathrm{S}\mathrm{t}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{n}\mathrm{g}\text{ base}}{\to }\mathrm{R}\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}}_3+{\mathrm{N}}_2$
