Abstract
Reactions of 1-iodo-2,2-dimethylhexane (4) with LiAlD4 have been carried out in a variety of reaction vessels. In vessels of used pyrex, teflon, and stainless steel, the surface of the reactor plays a role in the product distribution. However, treated pyrex, new pyrex and quartz vessels yield consistent data that support single electron transfer as the major reaction pathway in the reduction of 4 with LiAlD4.
