The appropriate reagent for the following transformation is

A

`Zn-Hg//HCl`

B

`H_(2)N-NH_(2), KOH//"ethylene glycol"`

C

`Ni//H_(2)`

D

`NaNH_(4)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Both `Zn-Hg//HCl` (Clemmensen's reduction) and `H_(2)N-NH_(2)`, KOH/ethylene glycol (Wolf Kishner reduction) can be used but in case of `Zn-Hg//HCl`, the product will not be an alcohol but a chloroderivative. Therefore (b) is the correct answer.
