Abstract

Decomposition of tetrahydrofuran by n-butyllithium producing ethylene and the enolate ion of acetaldehyde has been noted. Condensation of the latter with benzophenone and trityllithium results in the formation of significant quantities of 1, 1, 4, 4, 4-pentaphenyl-1, 3- butanediol (1). Conformational analysis of diol 1 by nmr is discussed. Nolle of the para- condensation product2 of trityllithium with benzophenone is observed in this solvent.
