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.
Evidence for a radical process in' the reaction of lithium alkoxides with alkyl iodides was obtained by the observation of cyclization of appropriate radical probes, by the trapping of radicals, and by EPR spectroscopic observations relating to the one electron donor properties of alkoxides.
Evidence for a radical process in the reaction of the lithium enolate of propiophenone with a primary alkyl iodide was obtained by the observation of cyclization of an appropriate radical probe, by the trapping of the radical intermediate and by the comparison of the relative rates of reactions of t
