A number of triarylvinyl halides and acetates were reduced with lithium aluminium hydride using various transition metal chlorides as catalysts.The vinylic halides were reduced to the corresponding alkenes while the vinylic acetates were reduced to mixtures of triarylketones and alcohols.The reduction of labeled vinylic halides did not result in any scrambling of the label from C-2 to C-1.The reactions took place under mild conditions and relativley fast reaction times.
