In the given transformation which of the following is the most appropriate reagent? A. Zn-Hg/HClB. Na in liq. `NH_(3)`C. `NaBH_(4)`D. `NH_(2)-NH_(2).OH^(-)`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Both Zn(Hg) HCl and `NH_(2)-NH_(2)," "OH^(-)` can reduce `COCH_(3)` group to `CH_(2)CH_(3)` group but HCl will also bring about substitution of OH by Cl `therefore` the most effective reagent is `NH_(2)-NH_(2)OH`.
