To convert a carbonyl group (C=O) into a methylene group (CH2), we can use the following two methods: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Wolf-Kishner Reduction**: - The Wolf-Kishner reduction is a method that involves the hydrazone formation followed by the reduction of the carbonyl compound. - First, the carbonyl compound (aldehyde or ketone) is treated with hydrazine (NH2NH2) to form a hydrazone. - The hydrazone is then heated with a strong base (usually potassium hydroxide, KOH) and a high-boiling solvent (like ethylene glycol) to eliminate nitrogen gas (N2) and reduce the carbonyl group to a methylene group (CH2). ...
