Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A: can be easily reduced using to
Reason R: is used to reduce carbonyl group to – – group.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- AA is false but R is true
- BA is true but R is false
- CBoth A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
- DBoth A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
Correct answer
A. A is false but R is true
Step-by-step solution
Clemmensen reduction: The carbonyl group of aldehydes and ketones is reduced to group on treatment with zinc-amalgam and concentrated hydrochloric acid.
The acid sensitive alcohol group reacts with , hence Clemmenson reduction is not suitable for above conversion.
So, assertion is false but reason is true.
