Question

The Wolff-Kishner reduction reduce
carbonyl compound to-----​

Answer 1

• The Wolff–Kishner reduction is a reaction used in organic chemistry to convert carbonyl functionalities into methylene groups.

Answer 2

The reduction of aldehydes and ketones to alkanes. Condensation of the carbonyl compound with hydrazine forms the hydrazone, and treatment with base induces the reduction of the carbon coupled with oxidation of the hydrazine to gaseous nitrogen, to yield the corresponding alkane.
