Abstract The title compounds were prepared by lithium aluminum hydride reduction of the corresponding 2, 2′-dinitro-4, 4′-dihalodiphenylmethanes. Peracetic acid oxidation of the title compounds led to the N-oxides, chromic anhydride oxidation led to an 11-keto compound, and hydrazine-Raney nickel reduction led to the dihydro compounds.
