Abstract
IT is already known that Grignard compounds may act as reducing agents1,2, or cause enolization of ketones3,4, or bring about the condensation of esters of some fatty acids to β-keto-esters. The present communication records some observations on the condensation of ketones during the Grignard reaction.
