Novel Synthetic Route to Aryl Alkanes from Aromatic Aldehydes and Ketones. Novel Geminal Dialkylation of the Carbonyl Group of Aromatic Aldehydes and Ketones

Benzyl-lithiums, readily available from benzyl methyl selenides and alkyl-lithiums, are efficiently alkylated; this reaction allows the geminal dialkylation of the carbonyl groups of aromatic aldehydes and ketones and the geminal aryl-alkylation of aliphatic analogues.

Reduction vs. Acetalisation of some Carbonyl Compounds by means of Methylselenol and Lewis Acids

Aliphatic ketones and aromatic carbonyl compounds on reaction with methylselenol and a Lewis acid, are shown to undergo acetalisation and/or reduction to methyl selenide, the unexpected reduction reaction being predominant in most cases.
