Ketone durch reduktive Spaltung von Benzoesäure‐benzhydryl‐estern und aromatischen Carbonsäuren mit Lithium‐naphthalinid

Abstract
Ketones by Reductive Cleavage of Benzhydryl Benzoates and Aromatic Carboxylic Acids with Lithium NaphthalenideThe formation of ketones by deoxygenation of benzhydryl benzoates with lithium naphthalenide is described. 1,2‐Diketones are obtained in the reaction of aromatic carboxylic acid with lithium naphthalenide.
