How would you use a Grignard reaction on an aldehyde or ketone to synthesize the following compounds?
Question: Predict the products of the wolff-Kishner reduction reactions below. Provide the electron pushing mechanism for each, beginning from the hydrazone intermediate.
p-Nitrobenzaldehyde is more reactive toward nucleophilic additions than p-methoxybenzaldehyde. Explain.
The 1HNMR spectrum shown is that of a compound isomeric with the one in Problem 19-81. This isomer has an IR absorption at 1730 cm-1. Propose a structure.
[Note: Aldehyde protons (CHO) often show low coupling constants to adjacent hydrogens, so the splitting of aldehyde signals is not always apparent.]

The Wharton reaction converts an epoxy ketone to an allylic alcohol by reaction with hydrazine. Propose a mechanism. (Hint: Review the Wolff–Kishner reaction in Section 19-9.)
