✦ Synopsis
Abstract
The tert‐butoxyl radical, generated by the aqueous Ti^III^/TBHP system, abstracts an H atom from alcoholic cosolvents (EtOH, __i__PrOH), leading to α‐hydroxyalkyl radicals thatreduce aromatic aldehydes to the corresponding 1,2‐diols. The reactivities observed are explained by resonance stabilization of the α‐hydroxybenzyl radicals formed in the electron‐transfer (ET) process. Good Hammett‐type correlations are obtained.
