Abstract

CeHsCH= CHCOCeHj+ CsHsCHzOH+ CGHSCH~ CHPCOCBHS f CsHsCHO (4) Reaction 4 may proceed by reduction of the carbonyl group followed by rearrangement. e The benzaldehyde reacting in 3 is regenerated in 4 so that addition of 3 and 4 gives the over-all reaction 1. As would be expected reaction 3 was found to proceed very rapidly under conditions similar to those described above. Since it has been shown that equilibrium 2 is ...
