arey wolfkishner is NH2NH2 in alkaline medium,
and NH2NH2 in H2O2 is a reagent that reduces only double bonds
H2O2 → H2O + O
NH2NH2 + O →NH = NH + H2O
R2C = C R2 + NH = NH → N2 + R2H C - C H R2
the last step has pericyclic mechanism

oops sory the mech cant be fully seen
pls see this site http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/21/Wolff-Kishner-Huang_Reduction.png
sky but it is a wolf kishner reduction so C=C get reduced to C-C am i rite. How to predict the 3d nature of the product.
in ans c=c is oxidising n both c=o r not oxidized could sum1 explain dis??????????
