Abstract

Abtract.- Cathodic reductions of diaryl-1,2-diketones are carried out in the presence of acylating reagents. The respective enediol diesters are obtained in high yields. The products are formed by reaction of electro- generated intermediates with the acylating agents. ... I n previous papers we have reported the direct ... In every reduction a charge of 2F.mol-I of diketo- ... 0 II 0 II 0 RC-0 0-CR I I ... + 2R-CZ > -c=c- +2z- t I -c=c- ... In contrast with the direct ...
