Clemmensen Reduction

Which of the following reaction can be used to prepare methane ? (a) Clemmensen reduction (b) Wurtz reaction (c) Catalytic reduction of methyl iodide (d) Reduction of methyl iodide by using a zinc- copper couple

An alkene (A) ozonolysis gives a mixture of two carbonyl compounds. Mixture on Clemmensen reduction gives just one alkane (B). (B) is the lowest lakane which in pure form can not be prepared by standard Wurtz method. (A) is

(a) Illustrate the following name reactions: (i) Cannizzaro's reaction. (ii) Clemmensen reduction (b) How would you obtain the following: (i) But-2-enal from ethanal. (ii) Butanoic acid from butanol. (iii) Benzoic acid from ethylbenzene.

A compound has molecular formula C_(6)H_(12)O . It does not reduce Tollens or Fehling's reagent, but gives a crystalline derivative with 2,4-dinitro-phenyl hydrazine. With alkali and I_(2) , it gives yellow solid with a medicinal odour. Clemmensen reduction converts it to 2-methylpentane. The structure formula of the compound is most likely to be:

(a) Illustrate the following name reactions by giving example : (i) Cannizzaro's reaction (ii) Clemmensen reduction (b) An organic compound A contains 69.77 % carbon , 11.63 % hydrogen and rest oxygen . The molecular mass of the compound is 86. it does not reduce Tollen's reagent but forms an addition compound with sodium hydrogen sulphite and give positive iodoform test. On vigorous oxidation it gives ethanoic and propanoic acid. Derive the possible structure of compound A .
