Abstract

The photochemical reactions of cyclohexanone, acetone, l-naphthaldehyde, 2- naphthaldehyde, and 2-acetonaphthone with tributyltin hydride are chain processes leading to the tributyltin ethers of the derived alcohols as the major products, and the analogous ethers of the corresponding pinacols as the most abundant minor products, rather than simple reductions to the alcohols themselves as previously reported. Chain termination for ...
