What is clemmenson rxn explain with example.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The original Clemmensen reduction conditions are particularly effective at reducing aryl-alkyl ketones, such as those formed in a Friedel-Crafts acylation. The two-step sequence of Friedel-Crafts acylation followed by Clemmensen reduction constitutes a classical strategy for the primary alkylation of arenes. With aliphatic or cyclic ketones, modified Clemmensen conditions using activated zinc dust in an anhydrous solution of hydrogen chloride in diethyl ether or acetic anhydride is much more effective.

Answer 2

Answer:

the clemmensen reduction is a chemical reaction which is described as a reduction of ketones to alkalines using zinc amalgam and concentrated hydrochloric acid.
