Concept explainers
Interpretation:
An epoxyketone is converted into an allylic alcohol when treated with hydrazine in Wharton reaction. A mechanism for the reaction is to be proposed.
Concept introduction:
The reaction involves the formation of hydrazone, abstraction of a proton by a base, opening of
To show:
