DIPHENYLSILANE - A REAGENT FOR DEOXYGENATION OF ALCOHOLS VIA THEIR THIOCARBONYL DERIVATIVES, DEAMINATION VIA ISONITRILES, AND DEHALOGENATION OF BROMO-COMPOUNDS AND IODO-COMPOUNDS BY RADICAL-CHAIN CHEMISTRY, Tetrahedron, 49(33), 1993, pp. 7193-7214
Various thionocarbonates and xanthates of alcohols and bis-xanthates o
f vic-diols are readily deoxygenated to the corresponding hydrocarbons
or olefins, while bromides and iodides are dehalogenated with dipheny
lphenylsilane in good yield.
