trust me, bro:
here is the receipt.
the claim
The Clemmensen reduction and Wolff-Kishner reduction both convert carbonyl groups to methylene groups under different conditions.
the verdict
COMMON KNOWLEDGE
no citation needed for this one
refutedsupported
the weight of evidence
no sources on either side

The conversion of carbonyl groups to methylene groups via the Clemmensen and Wolff-Kishner reductions is a standard textbook fact in organic chemistry, requiring no citation.
