This element is combined with zinc in a reaction that reduces a ketone to an alkane, an acidic alternative to the Wolff-Kishner reaction called the Clemmensen reduction.
This element is bonded to two acetate groups in a reaction in which an alkene forms an alcohol in a Markovnikov process that is free of rearrangements. This element is combined with zinc in a reaction that reduces a ketone to an alkane, an acidic alternative to the Wolff-Kishner reaction called the Clemmensen reduction. An alternative name for thiols reflects their ability to bond strongly to this element. Old vaccines were preserved with a compound of this element called thimerosal. This element is mined mainly in the form of cinnabar. For 10 points, name this metallic element that is liquid at room temperature and can be used in thermometers.
