if there's a group which is sensitive to HCl, we will use Wolf kishner.
like if the reacting compound has -OH in it, we will use wolf-kishner.
but if there's a group which is affected by -OH (like -Cl) , we use clemmenson ..
in the present compound , there's a Cl unit in it,
if we use wolf-kishner, the -OH will replace Cl in the product.
so we use only clemmenson.
