The reduction of bis-1,2-diketones was realized with sodium borohydride.An assessment of the effect of the structure on the reactivity is given.It was found that 1,4-di(2-phenyl-1,2-dioxoethyl)benzene has high reactivity, and the possibility of its full reduction or selective reduction at only one reaction center was demonstrated.The meso form of the obtained diol was established by means of the data from PMR spectroscopy.
