The Preparation of 2-(2-Oxo-2-Phenylethyl) Benzoic Acids from DilithiatedOrtho-Toluic Acid.

Abstract
ortho-Toluic acid was dimetalated with excess lithium diisopropylamide, and the resulting intermediate was condensed with a variety of aromatic esters to afford new substituted 2-(2-oxo-2-phenylethyl)benzoic acids (ortho-phenacylbenzoic acids).
