Radical-initiated reduction of chloroformates to alkanes by tri-n-propylsilane: removal of unwanted hydroxy groups from organic molecules

Abstract

Chloroformates of primary and secondary alcohols, produced by the reaction of the alcohol with phosgene, are reduced to the corresponding alkane in excellent yields by reaction with tri-n-propylsilane in the presence of t-butyl peroxide at 140 °C.
