Abstract

Radical reactions using tribenzyltin hydride (Bn3SnH) easily prepared from tin and benzyl chloride were studied. The Et3B-initiated reduction and cyclization of haloalkanes and haloalkenes with Bn3SnH proceeded efficiently. Homolytic hydrostannylation of alkynes with Bn3SnH followed by treatment with electrophiles gave functionalized alkenes in good to high yields. The organotin byproducts formed could be easily removable by filtration and ...
