Direct spectroscopic (EPR) evidence is presented to support a single electron transfer mechanism to describe the reactions of various simple and complex hydrides of the main group elements and dihydropyridyl metal complexes with aromatic nitrogen heterocyclic compounds.
The widespread use of lithium diisopropyl amide (LDA) as a strong base has revolutionized numerous facets of mechanistic and synthetic organic chemistry in recent years;' however, it is less widely appreciated that amide bases can function also as reducing agents.' LDA, for example, reduces benzophe
