Reduction of Carbonyl Groups
Write a balanced chemical equation for the reduction of cyclopentanone using hydrogen in the presence of a nickel catalyst.
The reacting molecule is a cyclic ketone that has five carbon atoms. During the reduction, hydrogen atoms add to the carbon and oxygen in the carbonyl group, which reduces the ketone to the corresponding secondary alcohol.
