✦ Synopsis

The degree of polar and radical character exhibited in reactions of metal alkyls, metal hydrides and typical nucleophiles (M-Y, where Y = OR, SR and NR2) with various organic substrates has been the subject of considerable interest for several years. 1-3 The mechanisms of these reactions have been proposed mainly on the basis of studies such as: stereochemical observations, kinetics, product formation and radical trapping. Recently we demonstrated the involvement of a single electron transfer (SET) pathway in reactions of main group metal alkyls, metal hydrides, metal alkoxides and

It has been demonstrated by means of spectroscopic studies involving cyclizable alkyl halides that lithium dimethylcuprate can react with organic halides by a single electron transfer pathway. The reaction of lithium diorganocuprates (LiCuR2) with alkyl halides is of major synthetic imp0rtance.l

The reduction of benzophenone by lithium alkoxides gives rise to benzophenone ketyl which disappears in a first-order fashion and whose first-order rate constant is approximately equal to the pseudo-first-order rate constant for the formation of the product, benzhydrol.
