ABSTRACT
Thirteen model alpha-ketocarboxylic acids and alpha-dicarbonyl compounds have been observed to be reduced by titanium(III) chloride. The products of these reactions were shown by melting (boiling) points, mixed melting points, derivatives, refractive indices, infrared, and NMR comparisons with authentic compounds or literature information to be the corresponding alpha-hydroxycarboxylic acids or alpha-hydroxyketones.
