%X The general features are reviewed of the reduction by dissolving metals of aromatic compounds carrying electron-attracting groups. The reductions by sodium-ammonia solutions of 2-methylamino-, 3-methoxy-, 3,4-dimethoxy-, and 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid, of 3-ethoxyphenylbut-2-ene, and of 2-phenylimidazoline have been investigated.
