Abstract

Tri-2-furylgermane proved to be an effective reagent for the radical reduction of organic halides. Treatment of 1-bromododecane with tri-2-furylgermane in THF at 25° C in the presence of a catalytic amount of triethylborane afforded dodecane almost quantitatively. Radical cyclization of 2-iodoethanal allyl acetal afforded five-membered products under the same reaction conditions. These reactions proceeded with NaBH 4 in the presence of a ...
