Abstract

Abstract: The members of a representative series of a, P-unsaturated ketones 1-10 have been reduced with solu-tions of sodium or lithium in hexamethylphosphoramide (HMP) or liquid” 3. In general, reductions with sodium in HMP yield reduction products containing a greater proportion of the less stable epimer than is found in reductions with sodium or lithium in liquid ammonia. The factors which appear most effective in increasing the proportion of ...
