None of these

Vedclass · Answer

(D) The starting material contains a ketone group and an epoxide ring. $1$. Wolff-Kishner reduction is carried out in strongly basic conditions $(NH_2NH_2, KOH)$. $2$. Clemmensen reduction is carried out in strongly acidic conditions $(Zn(Hg), HCl)$. $3$. The thioacetal formation followed by Raney $Ni$ reduction also typically involves acidic conditions. Since the epoxide ring is sensitive and unstable in both strongly acidic and strongly basic media,none of the standard methods for reducing a ketone to a methylene group can be used without destroying the epoxide ring. Therefore,the correct answer is $D$.
