Abstract

The effects of bulky ortho, ortho'groups on the reactions of aryl bromides and areneselenols with tributylstannane have been studied. Bulky ortho, ortho'groups accelerate the reaction of the bromides with the stannane but retard the reactions of the selenols. On the other hand, ab initio and force field calculations show that introducing bulky ortho substituents into selenols causes a greater increase in strain than in the corresponding bromides. Two ...
