DESCRIPTION: The Birch reduction is an organic reaction which facilitates the production of a cyclic diene from an arene functionality. The reaction is named after Australian chemist, Arthur Birch, in which aromatic rings are placed in liquid ammonia with sodium, potassium or lithium and an alcohol (ethanol or tert-butanol). The generic reaction and reaction mechanism for the Birch reaction is shown in figure 1, where each double-headed curly arrow represents the movement of two electrons through the molecule.
