Abstract
Abstract The kinetic hydrogen-deuterium isotope effects and the stereochemistry of the deoxygenation of 1-phenylethanol with boron trifluoride and triethylsilane have been studied. The results are consistent with a mechanism that involves the formation of the phenethyl cation in a rate determining step and its fast reduction with triethylsilane.
