Attempted condensation of benzil and benzoin with sodium acetylide in liquid ammonia caused fission of the central carbon-carbon bond of these substances, giving 3-phenylprop-1-yn-3-ol. Condensation of α-bromodeoxyanisoin with the same reagent gave several non-acetylenic products which have been identified.

The crystal structures of 1,1,2,2-tetrabenzoylethane (3), 1,2-diacetyl- 1,2-dibenzoylethane (4) and 1,1,2,2-tetraethoxycarbonylethane (tetraethyl ethanetetracarboxylate ) (5) have been determined by X-ray diffraction from diffractometer data at 295 K and were refined by least-squares techniques to residuals of 0.050 (1077 'observed' reflections), 0.056 (3020) and 0.041 (480), respectively. Crystals of (3) are triclinic, Pī , Z 1, a 6.145(2), b 9.002(3), c 11.261(3) Ǻ; α 101.91(3), β 91.88(3), γ 105.94(3)°. Crystals of (4) are also triclinic, Pī , Z 2, a 17.119(5), b 7.210(1), c 7.175(2) Ǻ, α 89.59(2), β 72.92(2), γ 87.87(2)°. Crystals of (5) are tetragonal, P42/n, Z 4, a 17.748(6), c 5.515(1)Ǻ. In the solid state each compound exists in the keto form which adopts the antiperiplanar conformation about the central carbon-carbon bond.
