Ketones may be reduced to hydrocarbons by group I or II metals (The Clemmensen Reduction) (Morrison, R. 1973. Organic Chemistry. Allyn and Bacon, Inc, Boston, pp. 631). Saturated hydrocarbons with fewer than five carbon atoms are flammable gases.
Aldehydes and ketones can undergo one-electron reductions with magnesium and couple to form pinacols. Reactive radical intermediates are formed in this reaction (Kammermeier, B. 2000. Reduction. Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. (Online)).
