Abstract
An efficient method is described for the cleavage of enolisable aryl methyl and aryl ethyl ketones using an excess of KOH in DMF at an elevated temperature. It presents a general hydrolytic method yielding aromatic carboxylic acids, and is complementary to the widely used oxidative methods for ketone cleavage.
