โฆ Synopsis
Reduction of c-bromophenyl ally1 ether with LiAlH4 yields phenyl ally1 ether 3-methyl-2,3_dihydrobenzofuran, thus suggesting the involvement of radical intermediates in reduction. and the Metal hydrides' are generally considered to react as nucleophilic hydride species. Reduction of the carbonyl group with lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH ), for example, is believed to involve a direct hydride transfer as the rate-determining step 24
