The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which pair is not correctly matched, we need to analyze the reduction reactions mentioned and their corresponding reagents. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactions and Their Reagents**: - **Clemensen Reduction**: This reaction involves the reduction of carbonyl compounds (like aldehydes and ketones) to hydrocarbons using zinc amalgam and hydrochloric acid (HCl). - **Wolf-Krishner Reduction**: This reaction also reduces carbonyl compounds to hydrocarbons, typically using hydrazine (NH2NH2) followed by a strong base like potassium hydroxide (KOH) in the presence of ethylene glycol. - **Rosenmund Reduction**: This reaction involves the reduction of acyl chlorides to aldehydes using palladium on barium sulfate (BaSO4) as a catalyst. - **Strecker Reduction**: This reaction reduces nitriles to aldehydes using tin(II) chloride (SnCl2) in the presence of hydrochloric acid (HCl). 2. **Analyze Each Pair**: - **Clemensen Reduction**: Correctly matched with zinc amalgam and HCl. - **Wolf-Krishner Reduction**: The pair is incorrectly matched as it is stated to yield an alcohol, but it actually yields a hydrocarbon. - **Rosenmund Reduction**: Correctly matched with acyl chloride to aldehyde. - **Strecker Reduction**: Correctly matched with nitrile to aldehyde. 3. **Conclusion**: The pair that is not correctly matched is **Wolf-Krishner Reduction**, which is incorrectly stated to yield an alcohol instead of a hydrocarbon. ### Final Answer: The incorrect pair is **Wolf-Krishner Reduction** yielding alcohol instead of hydrocarbon. ---
