| Abstract: | Aryl ketones are readily deoxygenated to their corresponding aryl alkanes upon treatment with Raney nickel catalyst in boiling 2-propanol.  Additional information ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The authors gratefully acknowledge financial support from the Covenant College Kaleo Center. In addition, we are indebted to the W. R. Grace Company, Chattanooga, for the generous donation of Raney nickel catalyst. |
