Reductant-induced homolysis of the thallium–carbon bond: novel oxygenation of alkylthallium(III) compounds with ascorbic acid
Abstract
The oxygenation of monoalkylthallium(III) salts to give alcohols and their reductive conversion into dialkylthallium(III) compounds with ascorbic acid and hydrazine both proceed through reductant-induced homolysis of the thallium–carbon bond.
