It can be done, my friend. Just testing the smarties on the board ...

well, Im sorry for not knowing...worry about your own "smartiness" instead of testing everyone else, we are here to help and collaborate, not to test. SO EXPLAIN!!!!!!! 🙄
 
There are no "rules" on a message board miss uracil. 😉 . I just wanted to know if anyone has ever heard of this reaction, that's all. It's in my notes from ochem, so Im pretty sure it can be done, just want to make sure others heard of it.
The reaction I have is H2 with Pt/BaSO4 and quinoline. Odd reaction, dont know the mechanism, but it's there, and we have to deal with it people!

I just happened to see this reaction right now on the Kaplan while I was reviewing.

But is converting an acid halide to an intermediate aldehyde by being selectively reduced.
Although the structure of an acid halide might seem like a ketone because it has 2 R groups, its not because it doesn't behave like a ketone.
