Abstract

Functional group interconversions involving deamination, dehalogenation, deoxygenation, and other methods are ubiquitous in synthetic chemistry, and many useful procedures to accomplish these transformations have been developed. 1 Recently, we, 2 and others, 3 described the application of Lewis acid activated water as a hydrogen atom transfer reagent. Efforts to expand the scope of our previously disclosed radical deoxygenation reaction to dehalogenation and the ...
