    Wolff-Kishner Reduction: Zurina Shaameri, PHD Institute of Science, Uitm

    The Wolff-Kishner reduction is a chemical reaction that converts carbonyl groups into methylene groups by the action of hydrazine in the presence of alkali. It involves the nucleophilic addition of hydrazine to the carbonyl group, followed by an elimination reaction to form an alkene while releasing nitrogen gas. This reaction is useful for reducing aldehydes and ketones to the corresponding saturated hydrocarbons.
