Clemmensen reduction of a ketone is carried out in the presence of which of the following?

  • Zn-Hg with HCl

  • LiAlH4

  • H2 and Pt as catalyst

  • Glycol with KOH


A.

Zn-Hg with HCl

The reducing agent used in Clemmensen reduction is Zn-Hg and HCl. It converts >C = O group into -CH2 group
