Homolytic reductive dehalogenation of aryl and alkyl halides by lithium aluminium hydride
Abstract
Photochemically induced reductions by lithium aluminum hydride of various halogeno-compounds including vinyl bromides, aryl chlorides and fluorides, neophyl chloride, cyclohexyl chloride, and 7,7-dichloronorcarane in the presence of di-t-butyl peroxide afford good yields of dehalogenated products.
