Abstract

The enhancement of the electron transfer processes in the Grignard reagent formation-type ring silylation and the defluorination–silylation of perfluoroalkyl benzenes by Cu (0)- deposited Mg metal were confirmed. Microscopic analysis and substituent effects implied a different reduction process in the presence of Cu-deposited Mg metal than in the presence of bare Mg metal.
