Often used after a Friedel-Crafts acylation to produce an alkyl product, it is complementary to the Clemmensen reduction.
The Huang-Minlon form of this reaction carries out the reaction in a high-temperature boiling solvent, avoiding the need for the use of multiple sealed tubes in the original procedure. The main step is a double-bond migration, catalyzed by a strong base, after the formation of a hydrazone intermediate, and the loss of nitrogen gas completes the reaction. Often used after a Friedel-Crafts acylation to produce an alkyl product, it is complementary to the Clemmensen reduction. FTP what is this reaction that uses hydrazine to reduce a ketone to an alkane, named for the German and Russian men who independently discovered it?
