“…Chuang and Scott have also reported isolation of an -ketol under Clemmensen conditions. 44 Curphey and his group continued their work on the behavior of 1,3-diketones by studying the electrochemical reduction of 2-methyl-2-acetylcyclohexanone,45 the system studied by Wenkert and Kariv under Clemmensen conditions. The anions of the expected epimeric cyclopropanediols were trapped as the diacetates by using acetic anhydride.…”
