Abstract

Abstract: Triethylborane-induced radical reduction of organic halides with tri-2- furanylgermane provided the corresponding reduced compounds in good yields. Radical cyclization of b-haloalkyl allyl ether or 6-halo-1-alkene afforded five-membered products under the same reaction conditions. These reactions proceeded with NaBH4 in the presence of a catalytic amount of germanium hydride. Key words: tri-2-furanylgermane, ...
