โฆ Synopsis
Potassium and the higher alkali metals form lamellar compounds with graphite.' The best known is CBK which, though easily prepared,* has seen only limited use in synthesis.3 Pertinent to the present work is its reaction with ketones , where it has been reported to function primarily as a reducing agent. 2 toward weak acids,4 Recently, however, CBK has been shown also to have Lewis base properties and it has been used to generate anions from nitriles and activated esters. 5
