Answer:
in the attached image is the reaction mechanism.
Explanation:
The first reaction (reaction 1) shown in the attached image is the Wolff-Kishner reduction, which is characterized when the carbonyl is reduced to an alkane in the presence of a hydrazine and a base. In reaction 1, the aldehyde reacts with hydrazine to produce oxime. This mechanism begins with the attack of the amine on the carbonyl group. Proton exchange happens and the water leaves the molecule.
In reaction 2, the KOH is deprotoned in nitrogen and organized to form the bond between the nitrogen molecule. this deprotonation releases the nitrogen gas
