Lithiation of p-bis(benzotriazol-1-yl)methyltoluene (4) gives the carbanion (5) which affords substitution products with many electrophiles.Acidic hydrolysis of the lithiation products affords the corresponding aromatic ketones in good yield.The syntheses of simple ketones, of diketones, and of α-hydroxy ketones are described.
