Help with Wolff-Krishner Reduction - Organic Chemistry
Card 1 of 4
Acetaldehyde 
undergoes a Wolf-Kishner reaction, which is the addition of hydrazine 
with subsequent addition of a base and heat. In this reaction, the aldehyde is , resulting in a(n) product.
Acetaldehyde
Tap to reveal answer
The correct answer is that the aldehyde is reduced to an alkane. In viewing the final product, we see that acetaldehyde would be reduced to ethane. The reaction of any aldehyde or ketone with hydrazine and the subsequent addition of base and heat will result in that aldehyde or ketone being reduced to an alkane, and is referred to as the Wolf-Kishner reaction. The Wolf-Kishner reagent is a commonly tested reducing agent.
