Use of HMPT as solvent in photochemistry allows efficient photoreductions.Alkyl esters and especially non absorbing alkyl acetates are photoreduced in excellent yields into alkanes.In the latter case, a protonating agent is necessary.Numerous examples illustrate the generality and convenience of the reaction.This photoreduction involves an electron transfer from HMPT to ester.
