Which one of the following pairs is not correctly matched?
Options
- A> C = O > CH ₂ (Clemmensen reduction)
- B> C = O > CHOH (Wolf-Kishner reduction)
- C- COCl - CHO (Rosenmund reduction)
- D- C N - CHO (Stephen reduction)
Correct answer
B. > C = O > CHOH (Wolf-Kishner reduction)
Step-by-step solution
Like clemmensen reduction, Wolf-Kishner reduction involves reduction of > C = O to > CH ₂, of course by different reagent.
