Abstract:Polyphenylalkane derivatives Q 0720Studies on the Lanthanum-Induced Pinacol Coupling of Aromatic Aldehydes and Ketones in Aqueous Media. -Ultrasound irradiation can efficiently prompt pinacol coupling of aldehydes in acidic aqueous media in the presence of La. In contrast, aromatic ketones show much lower reactivity due to the steric hindrance around the carbonyl group. -(BIAN*, Y.-J.; YU, X.-G.; PENG, H.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
