Theory and Destination : DeMayo reaction is a photo chemical reaction in which the enol of a 1,3-di-ketone reacts with an alkene (or another species with a C=C bond) and the resulting cyclobutane ring undergoes a retro- aldol reaction to yield a 1,5-di ketone. General Reaction : Mechanism : A visible…

Theory and Defination : Benzilic Acid Rearrangement is the rearrangement reactions of 1, 2-diketones to give alpha hydroxy carboxylic acids. 1, 2-Diketones can be converted into the salt of an alpha hydroxy caboxylic acid upon treatment with alkali hydroxide after acidic workup, the free alpha hydroxy carboxylic…
