With benzophenone ( 1a ) and fluorenone ( 1b ) anthracene hydride ( AH − ) rapidly forms the anions 3a, b of the corresponding tertiary alcohols 4a, b , the intense colour of the reaction mixture indicating the presence of the ketyls 2a, b . Excess of AH − converts 3a, b into the diarylcarbinols. a mechanism is proposed for this ketone reduction.
