Product studies involving the reduction of cyclizable alkyl iodides and bromides, trapping of intermediate radicals by dicyclohexylphosphine, and direct EPR observation of radicals have been used to detect the occurence of a single electron transfer pathway in the reduction of these halides by lithium triethylborohydride.
CONCERNING THE REDUCTION OF ALKYL HALIDES BY LiAlH4. EVIDENCE THAT AlH3 PRODUCED IN SITU IS THE ONE ELECTRON TRANSFER AGENT.

The reduction of 10 and 20 alkyl iodides by LiAlH4 has been shown to involve a radical intermediate formed by the reaction of the alkyl iodide with the AlH3 and LiI produced in situ in conjunction with LiAlH4 rather than by LiAlH4 alone, as evidenced by cyclized products in the reduction of 6-iodo-1-heptene, by the trapping of the radical and by stereochemical studies of the 2-halooctanes.
