Concept introduction:
In Wolff-Kishner reduction
To give:
The product of the Wolff-Kishner reduction reaction shown.
To provide:
The electron-pushing mechanism, beginning from the hydrazone intermediate.
Answer to Problem 38MP
The product of the Wolff-Kishner reduction reaction shown is
The electron-pushing mechanism for the formation of the alkane, beginning from the hydrazone intermediate, is given below.
Explanation of Solution
The hydroxide ion from KOH abstracts a weakly acidic H from –NH2 of the hydrazone of isopropyl phenyl ketone to yield a carbanion which picks up a proton to yield a neutral intermediate. Deprotonation of the remaining hydrogen on N by the hydroxide ion occurs with the eliminartion of nitrogen to yield another carbanion which is protonated to give the alkane, ethyl benzene, as the product.
