Abstract
Abstract: Trityl chloride (TCI) and bromide are reduced by hindered lithium dialkylamide bases in THF to give predominantly triphenylmethane and a small amount of trityl dimer. Rate constants for the reduction of TCI by lithium diisopropylamide and lithium tert- butylethylamide in THF at-78 OC have been measured; the reactions are first order in monomeric base and in trityl chloride. Inter-and intramolecular kinetic isotope effect ...
