The Birch reductions of 15 α,ω-diarylalkanes, 1a, b, c (n = 1–5) and of triphenylmethane (3a) and tris(p-methoxyphenyl)methane (3b) are described. In every case reduction proceeds independently in each ring to furnish the products, namely, α,ω-bis(2′,5′-dihydroaryl)alkanes, 2a, b, c (n = 1–5), and tris(2′,5′-dihydroaryl)methanes, 4a, b.Acid hydrolysis of the enol ethers 2b, c (n = 1–5) and 4b affords the corresponding ketones 6 (n = 1–5), 7 (n = 1–5), and 8.
