Chemistry of Aromatic Compounds Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution Directing Effects Side-chain Reactions Synthesis Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution
Side Chain Reactions • Reduction of Aromatic Ketones • (will also reduce alkenes and alkynes) Alternatively, use Zn(Hg), dil. HCl to avoid reduction of alkenes and alkynes). Clemmensen reduction
Straight-chain Alkylation can be Accomplished in 2 steps:Acylation, then Reduction
