Abstract

Results The l-phenyl-2-propanone dianion 3 was initially generated by Hauser and his co- workers through sequential treatment of the parent ketone with an alkali amide in liquid ammonia followed by reaction of the resulting enolate monoanion with n-butyllithium in tetrahydrofuran (THF)-hexane., j In our laboratories, a more convenient method was developed for the formation of dianion 3, involving initial treatment of the parent ketone ...
