The rapid reduction of α,α-diaryl alcohols to the corresponding alkanes using iodotrimethylsilane

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919608003868

The utility of iodotrimethylsilane has been extended to include the rapid and highly selective reduction of α,α-diaryl alcohols. The reduction of a series of α-hydroxyfuroic acids in near quantitative yield has been demonstrated and the mechanism discussed.
