Which one of the following pairs is not correctly matched?

Which one of the following pairs is not correctly matched?

Options

  1. A>>\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{O}→>CH2\rightarrow > \mathrm{CH}_{2} (Clemmensen reduction)
  2. B>>\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{O}→>CHOH\rightarrow > \mathrm{CHOH} (Wolf-Kishner reduction)
  3. C−COCl→−-\mathrm{COCl} \rightarrow- CHO (Rosenmund reduction)
  4. D−C≡N→−CHO-\mathrm{C} \equiv \mathrm{N} \rightarrow-\mathrm{CHO} (Stephen reduction)

Correct answer

B. >>\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{O}→>CHOH\rightarrow > \mathrm{CHOH} (Wolf-Kishner reduction)

Step-by-step solution

Like clemmensen reduction, Wolf-Kishner reduction involves reduction of >C=O> \mathrm{C}=\mathrm{O} to >CH2,> \mathrm{CH}_{2}, of course by different reagent.
