Abstract

are vinylogs of the corresponding benzils, and for this reason were needed in a study of the production of enediols from benzils and related compounds. A somewhat unusual method of synthesis has been discovered. It consists in coupling two molecules of a p- halobenzophenone by the action of the binary mixture, Mg+ MgI2. l
