Abstract
1. The reactions of potassium alkoxides with the corresponding alcohols, withα-methylstyrene, and with allyl alcohol were studied. 2. When heated with the corresponding alcohols, secondary alkoxides eliminate hydrogen and are converted into ketones. 3. The hydride ion eliminated from alkoxides can add to the double bonds ofα-methylstyrene and allyl alcohol. 4. A new type of isotopic hydrogen exchange reaction was discovered: its consists in the nucleophilic replacement of a hydrogen atom in theβ -position to the negatively charged center by a deuteride (hydride) ion.
