An example is provided below. step 1 step 2 NH oh oh oh oon HẠN-NH, KOH/H20 A mechanism for the Wolff-Kishner reduction is proposed online at the following website: However, all steps and all electron-pushing arrows are not clearly illustrated in this mechanism. Propose a detailed mechanism with all electron-pushing arrows for both steps of the Wolff-Kishner reduction. Notice the first...
4. Predict the structure of all species or reagents in red. Clearly indicate stereochemistry when relevant.5. The Wolff-Kishner reduction is a method to transform ketones into alkanes. An example is provided below. However, all steps and all electron-pushing arrows are not clearly illustrated in this mechanism. Propose a detailed mechanism with all electron-pushing arrows for both steps of the Wolff-Kishner reduction. Notice the first step is carried out in the absence of acid or base – it may involve formation...
