A NOVEL METHOD FOR THE GEMINAL DIALKYLATION OF THE CARBONYL GROUP OF AROMATIC ALDEHYDES AND KETONES

The title transformation is efficiently achieved by using the selenium methodology which involves the sequential reductive alkylation of arylselenoacetals and of benzylselenides.

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.
