Five 3,4-diaryl-2,2,5,5-tetramethylhexanes 1a - e were prepared as pure meso- and DL-isomers.According to the NMR spectra, x-ray analyses for meso- and DL-1e (with an (FB)2E conformation as energy minimum for DL-1e), and force field calculations the diastereomers have distinctly different minimum energy conformations, rotational potentials, and strain enthalpies.Also the activation parameters for the thermal dissociation into 1-arylneopentyl radicals 2 are typically differing.From an entropy discussion it is concluded that sandwich-like diastereomeric radical complexes are formed in these reactions as first intermediates.Their tightness influences ΔS%.The recombinations of the radicals 2 likewise take place stereoselectively.Their substituent effects on the selectivity can also be understood by primary formation of diastereomeric complexes of radical pairs.

253.7 nm irradiation of meso-3 and DL-3 in decane or isooctane yielded meso-4 and DL-4 respectively in contrast to the thermolysis reaction of 3. p-Chloro-toluene, p-chloro-t-butylbenzene and p-chloro-fluorobenzene are similarly reduced in 70-90 percent yield.
