Akstraet--Reductive demercuration of alkylmercuric bromides with NaBD 4 was used to generate the 1-butyl and t-butyl radicals in mixtures of N-phenylmaleimide (NPM) and either of the donor olefins 2-chloroethyl vinyl ether (CEVE) or tetrathiafulvalene (TTF). In each case, the major products of the r
