Step-by-step solution
The given reaction is an example of Wolff-Kishner reduction. Wolff-Kishner reduction mechanism begins with the formation of a hydrazone anion which then releases the nitrogen molecule to form a carbanion. This carbanion then reacts with the water in the system to give a hydrocarbon. Typically, diethylene glycol is used as a solvent for this method.
