Wolff-Kishner reduction Wolff-Kishner reduction

Japanese: ウォルフ=キシュナー還元 - ウォルフキシュナーかんげん(英語表記)Wolff‐Kishner reduction
Wolff-Kishner reduction Wolff-Kishner reduction
This reduction reaction converts the carbonyl group of a ketone or aldehyde into a methylene group, CH2 . It was discovered almost simultaneously by two chemists, N. Kishner in 1911 and L. Wolff in 1912. A carbonyl compound is first converted into a hydrazone (formula (1)), which is then heated in the presence of an alkali to obtain the reduced product (formula (2)). Generally, the hydrazone is isolated from the reaction of formula (1) and then the reaction of formula (2) is carried out, but recently, a method in which the hydrazone is reduced with an alkali without being isolated is used.

ケトンまたはアルデヒドのカルボニル基をメチレン基CH2に変換する還元反応。1911年キシュナーN.Kishner,12年ウォルフL.Wolffと,ほぼ同時に2人の化学者によって見いだされた。カルボニル化合物をまずヒドラゾンに変換し(式(1)),これをアルカリの存在下で加熱すると還元生成物が得られる(式(2))。一般に,式(1)の反応により,まずヒドラゾンを単離したのちに,式(2)の反応を行うが,最近では,ヒドラゾンを単離せずにそのままアルカリで還元する方法が使われる。
