9,9-(Tetrachloro-o-phenylenedioxy) xanthene (IIa) and its thio-analogue (IIb) are cleaved by hydrazines to give the corresponding hydrazones of xanthone and thiaxanthone, respectively, together with tetrachlorocatechol. The unsaturated nitriles (Va), (Vb), and (Vc) are produced similarly by the action of malononitrile and cyanoacetic ester. Dixanthenyl ether itself reacts in a similar manner with active hydrogen compounds to give the corresponding 9-xanthyl derivatives. (IIb) is prepared by the action of 9-diazothiaxanthene on tetrachloro-o-benzoquinone and is readily cleaved by lithium aluminum hydride to give thiaxanthene and tetrachlorocatechol. The reaction mechanisms are discussed.

The reduction of ethyl phenylpropiolate by lithium aluminum hydride results in partial reduction of the triple bond to give trans-cinnamyl alcohol. If ethyl phenylpropiolate is reduced by LiAlD4 followed by work-up with acetone and H2O the product is the specifically labeled compound, trans-3-phenyl-2-propen-1-ol-1,1,2-d3. If the ester is reduced with LiAlH4 followed by work-up with acetone-d6 and D2O the product is trans-3-phenyl-2-propen-1-ol-O,3-d2. Oxidation of these two products by sodium ruthenate leads to formation of trans-cinnamic acid-α-d and trans-cinnamic acid-β-d, respectively.
