Abstract
The mechanism of the ITillgerodt reaction has attracted considerable attention during the past decade, and to date there still is doubt as to esactly what processes are involved. To a large degree, this has been due to the failure to isolate intermediates directly2 or to identify them. The technique of treating theoretically possible intermediates under conditions of the Tl'illgerodt reaction in order to determine whether or not they are actual possible ...
