Brominative cleavage of α-ketols

Abstract
Bromination of some α-ketols resulted in cleavage of the carbonyl–carbinol bond; 1-hydroxy-1,1 -diphenylacetone, for example, gave benzophenone. Bromination of diphenyl-substituted tertiary alcohols does not cause degradation and the products are bromohydrins and/or substituted alkenes.
