Which of the reactions is used in the conversion of a ketone into hydrocarbon?
Solution:
Wolff–Kishner reduction converts a ketone (or aldehyde) into a hydrocarbon (alkane) by completely removing the carbonyl group ().
It uses hydrazine () and a strong base under high temperature.
Reimer–Tiemann reaction Introduces a formyl group (–CHO) into phenols.
Aldol condensation Forms β-hydroxy aldehydes/ketones.
Stephen reaction Converts nitriles into aldehydes.
Therefore, the reaction used to convert a ketone into a hydrocarbon is Wolff–Kishner reduction.
