Reactions of lithium with benzaldehyde in solution

Benzaldehyde in THF reacts with lithium metal to give the expected reduction product, benzyl alcohol, plus benzoin and benzyl as minor products. The kinetics of the overall reaction as well as the partial rate coefficients of the several steps have been determined under various reaction conditions....
