Question
Ph−O||C−CH3Zn(Hg)−−−−→HCl
Product of reaction will be:
Product of reaction will be:
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A - Ph−CH2−CH3
The reduction of carbonyl groups of aldehydes and ketones to methylene groups with amalgamated zinc and concentrated HCl is known as Clemmensen reduction.Thus Acetophenone on reduction with Zn−Hg/HCl gives ethylbenzene as shown in IMAGE 01.And the mechanism is shown in IMAGE 02
