Abstract

Summary Catalytic hydrogenation of mesitil by the method of Thompson has been made to yield either the cis-or trans-enediol. Similar pairs of isomers have been made by this method from 2, 6-xylil and 2, 2', 4, 4', 6, 6'-hexaethylbenzil. It has been shown in each instance that the cis form can be changed to the corresponding trans form by prolonged contact with hydrogen in the presence of platinum.
