Write chemical equations, for the following reactions:
Acetophenone is treated with `Zn(Hg)//"Conc. "HCl`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to write the chemical equation for the reaction of acetophenone with zinc (Zn), mercury (Hg), and concentrated hydrochloric acid (HCl). This reaction is known as the Clemmensen reduction, which reduces the carbonyl group (C=O) of acetophenone to a methylene group (–CH2–). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactants**: - Acetophenone (C6H5COCH3) - Zinc (Zn) - Mercury (Hg) ...
