Question
Chapter 17, Problem 39P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The synthesis of compound
Concept introduction:
Carboxylic acids on reaction with thionyl chloride results in the formation of acid chlorides.
Wolff–Kishner reduction is a reaction that reduces carbonyl group to alkyl group.
The clemmensen reduction can effect a similar conversion under strongly acidic conditions, and is useful if the starting material is base-labile.
