Reduction of Aldehydes and Ketones
• Complete reduction of a carbonyl group to a methylene (-CH2-) group is possible by two different methods1) Wolff-Kishner reduction:
• Highly basic conditions• Extension of imine formation
119.12 Reduction of Carbonyl Groups to Methylene Groups

Reduction of Aldehydes and Ketones
2) Clemmensen reduction:
• Acidic conditions• Zinc amalgam + HCl
• The mechanism is uncertain
