Abstract

Reactions of benzene vapor-calcium atom with organic halides and carbonyl compounds were examined. Benzene vapor-calcium atom reacted with organic halides (RX) to give phenyl-substituted products (PhR) and reduced products (RH). The reactions of benzene vapor-calcium atom with ketones (RR′ CO) or benzaldehyde gave two kinds of alcohol PhRR′ COH and RR′ CHOH, or Ph 2 CHOH and PhCH 2 OH, respectively
