Abstract
Potassium diphenylketyl and benzophenone dianion react with aniline to afford N-(diphenylmethylene) aniline. Under analogous conditions, the corresponding sodium and lithium derivatives undergo disproportionation with formation of triphenylmethanol, benzoic acid, and diphenylmethanol. The condensation of potassium and sodium bis(4-dimethylaminophenyl)ketyls and salts with Michler’s ketone dianion leads to formation of N-[bis(4-dimethylaminophenyl)methylene]aniline, while lithium bis(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-ketyl and Michler’s ketone dilithium salt are reduced to bis(4-dimethylaminophenyl)methanol.
