%X &#945;-Hydroxymethylene ketones have been shown to react with aryllead triacetates in tetrahydrofuran containing pyridine to give &#945;-aryl &#945;-formyl ketones, unstable compounds, which were hydrolysed directly with alkali to &#945;-aryl ketones. The procedure has been used to produce in good yield 2-(p-methoxyphenyl)cyclohexanone, 2-(p-tolyl)cyclohexanone and the corresponding derivatives of4-t-butylcyclohexanone, and 2&#945;-(p-methoxypheny1)-5&#945;-cholestan-3-one and 3&#946;-hydroxy-16&#945;-(pmethoxypheny1)-5&#945;-androstan-17-one.
