Organic Chemistry - Clemmensen reduction
Hi!

I REALLY REALLY need to know the mechanism for the Clemmensen Reduction of ketones/aldehydes using Zn(Hg) + HCl! ???

How do the electrons transfer to reduce ketones/aldehydes to alkanes?

I have an exam soon!

Your help will be much appreciated!

Re: Organic Chemistry - Clemmensen reduction
well I cant draw chemical structures or arrows her but...

seriousely!---DONT BE AFRAID TO ASK YOUR INSTRUCTOR!!! ask him/her BEFORE THE EXAM(i.e WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!!) and he/she should help

that would be the smart thing to do (his explanation would be the best exam-answer if 'HE' is marking the exam)
