Synthesis, Structure, Composition, and Properties of Rolivsans

Novel thermosetting resins Rolivsans were prepared, and their structure, composition, and properties were studied. The structural parameters of Rolivsans as influenced by the synthesis conditions were determined.

ANOMALOUS REDUCTION OF ALIPHATIC-AROMATIC KETONES BY THE COMPLEX HYDRIDES OF BORON

During the reduction of XC6H4COCH3 by the action of sodium borohydride or potassium borohydride in a water-methanol medium the ethers XC6H4CH(OCH3)CH3 and not the corresponding alcohols were obtained.The formation of the ethers indicates that the O-Calkyl (and not O-B) bond is broken in the intermediate tetraalkoxyborate if a stable carbocation of the benzylic type, further stabilized by an electron-donor group at the ortho or para position of the benzene ring, is formed.
