Aromatic hydrocarbons complexed with a Cr(CO)3 unit react with benzaldehydes and furfural in THF and in presence of t-BuOK at the benzylic position to give condensation products in good yields.Formation of ketones by in situ Oppenauer-Woodward oxidation is observed.Influence of ring substituents on this formation is discussed.
