Abstract

Many cu, &unsaturated ketones combine with Grignard reagents and other metallic compounds to form metallic derivatives which on hydrolysis yield saturated ketones. In some cases, notably those in which there are substituents in the alpha position, it is known that the saturated ketones are secondary products, and that the primary products of hydrolysis are enols which are capable of combining with oxygen to form peroxides. In these cases it is ...
