Electrochemical reduction of bifunctional organic compounds Communication 5. Kinetics of the rearrangement of endiols in the reduction of paradiacetylbenzene and terephthalic aldehyde

Abstract

1. The kinetics of the rearrangement of endiols to a monocarbonyl compound in the reduction of p-diacetylbenzene and terephthalic aldehyde was studied. 2. The equilibrium constants of the preceding reaction of hydration of terephthalic aldehyde was measured. © 1972 Consultants Bureau, a division of Plenum Publishing Corporation.
