  2. Na,liquidNH3
  3. ZnHg/HCl
  4. NaBH4

A
ZnHg/HCl
B
NaBH4
C
NH2NH2,OH
D
Na,liquidNH3
Solution
Verified by Toppr

In the given reaction, the reactant has a acid sensitive group, i.e., OH. So, the transformation can only be carried out by 'Wolf-Kishner' reduction method, i.e. NH2NH2,OH. Clemmensen reduction using ZnHg/HCl will not work here.
