The thesis is divided into two parts: Part I is concerned mainly with the reactions of certain benzidine bases with ketones and Part II, the major portion, with diphenyl derivatives of interest from the point of view of optical activity. In this summary, pages to which cross reference has been given contain the main conclusions of this thesis. Part I is subdivided into three sections: the Introduc­ tion, the Theoretical Section and the Experimental Section. The Introduction gives an account of previous relevant work, experimental and theoretical, and furnishes a background to the actual work undertaken. The latter, together with cer­ tain theoretical aspects, is discussed in the Theoretical Section. Part I was undertaken in order to provide further information on a subject briefly referred to by Reddelien (page 57 ) namely, the reactions of aromatic ketones with benzidine bases. At the same time, it was intended to gain 2 some information on the prospects of optical resolution of appropriately substituted benzidine derivatives by means of the
