Abstract

Anions derived from a-amino-a-arylacetonitriles are related as masked acyl anion equivalents. The utility of their anions in the formation of carbon-carbon bonds has been reported.'The utilization of such masked acyl anions is, however, not universal. The choice of substituents a to the nitrile group appears to be critical. We report here a new synthetic method for symmetrical diketones by reaction of the masked acyl anions formed from a-(di ...
