Solution
The correct option is C Nucleophilic addition-elimination reaction The reaction RCHO+NH2NH2→RCH=N−NH2 is a nucleophilic addition-elimination reaction. First a molecule of hydrazine is added to the carbonyl group. This is a nucleophilic addition reaction. RCHO+NH2NH2→RCH(OH)−NH−NH2 Then a molecule of water is eliminated. This is an elimination reaction. RCH(OH)−NH−NH2→RCH=N−NH2+H2O
