โฆ Synopsis
Reduction of alkylmercury(I1) acetates with N-benzyl-1,4_dihydronicotin amide (BNAH) proceeds through electron-transfer chain-substitution mechanism.
The rate constant of hydrogen transfer from BNAH to alkyl radical was estimated as in the order of lo5 l/mol.sec.
There is much current interest both in exploring the range of substrates and elucidating the mechanism in the reduction of inorganic and organic compounds with 1,4_dihydropyridine derivatives.
Recent studieslt2 demonstrated that these reductants can be used more suitably than metal hydrides in hydrogenating certain organic substrates such as nitro and sulfonium compounds.
