The kinetic hydrogen-deuterium isotope effects and the stereochemistry of the deoxygenation of 1-phenylethanol with boron trifluoride and triethylsilane have been studied.The results are consistent with a mechanism that involves of the formation of the phenethyl cation in a rate determining step and its fast reduction with triethylsilane.
SELECTIVE REDUCTION OF DIARYL OR ARYL ALKYL ALCOHOLS IN THE PRESENCE OF PRIMARY HYDROXYL OR ESTER GROUPS BY ETHERATED BORON TRIFLUORIDE-TRIETHYLSILANE SYSTEM

Diaryl or alkyl aryl carbinols bearing a second reducible functional group (such as hydroxyl or ester) are selectively deoxygenated in high yields by the action of etherated boron trifluoride and triethyl silane reducing system.
