Diphenylhydroxymethylation of the pyridine ring to give diphenyl(2-quinolyl)carbinol or its N-oxide occurs in the reaction of quinoline N-oxide with benzophenone ketyls and dianions.The best results are obtained when the lithium ketyl is used.A reduction product, viz., quinoline, is formed simultaneously in all of the reactions.
