Reaction Steps

Sodium borohydride (1 52 g.) in sodium hydroxide solution (15 ml. 0.02M) was added to 1,1-diphenyl-3-bromo-propan-2-one (12 g.) in methanol (50 ml.), and the solution was stirred for one hour. Isolation through ether in the usual manner afforded 1,1-diphenyl-3-bromo-propan-2-ol (10 4 g. 86%) as an oil.
