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 p

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.
Summaly: The stereochemical results of the reduction of cyclic ketones with alkoxyaluminium dichlorides do not conform to the conventional polar cyclic mechanism and may be explained by a single electron transfer mechanism.
Simultaneous occurrence of free radical cage and chain mechanisms y single electron transfer in the reactions of diaryliodonium cations with 2-nitropropanate anion has been established.
