Question

Wolff-kishner reduction vs normal reduction

Answer 1

The Clemmensen Reduction allows the deoxygenation of aldehydes or ketones, to produce the corresponding hydrocarbon. ... The Clemmensen Reduction is complementary to the Wolff-Kishner Reduction, which is run under strongly basic conditions. Acid-labile molecules should be reduced by the Wolff-Kishner protocol..

I hope it help you

Answer 2

Clemmensen Reduction. TheClemmensen Reduction allows the deoxygenation of aldehydes orketones, to produce the corresponding hydrocarbon. The substrate must be stable to strong acid. TheClemmensen Reduction is complementary to the Wolff-Kishner Reduction, which is run under strongly basic conditions.
