Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The rearrangement of an endiol formed in the reduction of p-dibenzoylbenzene, to a ketol was studied quantitatively.

  2. 2.

    It was found by a polarographic method that the hydroxonium ion is 2.22·108 times as effective an electrophilic reagent with respect to the C atom of the enolate ion as H2O.
