✦ Synopsis

It has been shown recently 1.2 that photochemically generated benzophenone ketyl radicals can function efficiently as reducing agents for a-diketones.

It has also been demonstrated3

that such ketyl radicals can be formed by thermal cleavage of benzpinacol. Combination of these two observations has suggested a new method for reduction of a-diketones to u-hydroxyketones

cl-Chloro-, u,a-dichloro-and a,a,a-trichloroimines were conveniently reduced by borane-methyl sulfide in dichloromethane into the corresponding B-chloroamines. This synthetic procedure was applied to the synthesis of N-(a-methoxyphenyl)-[2,2,2-trichloro-l-(4-methoxyphenyl)]ethylamine, which is a kn
