Chemistry - Carbonyl compounds Question with Solution | TestHub

In Clemmensen's reduction, aldehyde ($\text{R}\text{C}\text{H}\text{O}$) and ketones ($\text{R}-\text{C}\text{O}-\text{R}\text{′}$) are reduced into hydrocarbons ($\text{R}-\text{R}$').

$\text{R}\text{C}\text{H}\text{O}+6\left[\text{H}\right]\underset{\text{C}\text{o}\text{n}\text{c}.\text{H}\text{C}\text{l}}{\stackrel{\text{Z}\text{n}\text{a}\text{m}\text{a}\text{l}\text{g}\text{a}\text{m}\text{a}\text{t}\text{e}\text{d}}{\to }}\text{R}\text{C}{\text{H}}_3+2{\text{H}}_2\text{O}$
