Show how each of the following compounds can be prepared from the given starting material. In each case, you will need to use a protecting group.
b) The Wolf-Kishner reduction is a reaction used in Organic Chemistry to convert
carbonyl functionalities into methylene group. The reaction was used to convert
an aldehyde or ketone to an alkane using hydrazine, base and thermal conditions.
The mechanism begins with the attack of hydrazine of the aldehyde or ketone.
Stage 1: The reaction of aldehyde/ketone with hydrazine to produce hydrazine
Stage 2: Reaction with the base and heat to convert hydrozone to alkane
Write the mechanism of the reaction.
