Which one of the following pairs is not correctly matched — Aldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic Acids Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

In Clemmensen’s reduction, alkanes are formed from aldehyde or ketone with zinc amalgam and concentrated hydrochloric acid. So, the option (a) is correct. In Wolf- Kishner reduction, alkanes are formed from aldehyde or ketone when they are heated with hydrazine and KOH. So, the option (b) is incorrect. In Rosenmund’s reduction, the aldehyde is formed from acid chloride, when acid chloride is treated with hydrogen in the presence of boiling xylene solution and over Pd or 퐵푎푆푂4surface which is used as the catalyst and they are also called as the Rosenmund’s catalyst. So, option (c) is correct. I
