f No alkaline catalyst was used.<br />

J There was also formed 45% of 2-phenylpyrrocoline.<br />

§ With one mole of hydrazine there was formed the pyrazoline which on warming was converted<br />

to 3,4-diphenylcyclopentene. When the ketone was treated with excess hydrazine there was formed<br />

a dimeric product, converted by the action of potassium hydroxide into l-phenyl-2-(|8-phenylethyl)<br />

cyclopropane.<br />

U There was also formed 31% of civetol,<br />
