Abstract

Results Reactions were conducted in liquid ammonia at reflux with irradiation through Pyrex from fluorescent lamps emitting maximally at 350 nm. Solutions of ketone enolate ions were prepared by reaction of the ketone with a slight excess of potassium tert-butoxide (t-BuOK) in ammonia. Except in a few special cases, the ketone enolate ion was in approximately a threefold excess over the aryl halide during irradiation. The ten experiments summarized ...
