Ketones and aldehydes are reduced to these by the Clemmensen reduction and similar Wolff-Kishner reduction.  
Ketones and aldehydes are reduced to these by the Clemmensen reduction and similar Wolff-Kishner reduction.  The presence of torsional strain and van der Waals strain can be determined by their conformations shown in Newman projections.  Other methods of synthesis include the reduction of alkyl halides and hydrogenation of alkenes, and all of their carbons are sp3 hybridized, leading to their general formula of CnH2n+2 [C en H two en].  FTP, name these saturated hydrocarbons, the simplest of which is methane.
