Ans. The Wolff Kishner reduction reaction is a method in which a carbonyl compound (aldehyde or a ketone) is reduced to a hydrocarbon.

In this method, the carbonyl compound is heated with a mixture of hydrazine and strong base such as potassium hydroxide or potassium tert-butoxide at a temperature of 453-473 K in ethylene glycol solvent.

During this reduction reaction, the aldehyde or ketone is first treated with hydrazine to form the corresponding hydrazone. On reaction with a strong base, the hydrazone gets converted to a hydrocarbon.
