Conclusions
-
1.
The rearrangement of an endiol formed in the reduction of p-dibenzoylbenzene, to a ketol was studied quantitatively.
-
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.
