Reductive homocoupling of acetals derived from aromatic aldehydes with aluminium/lead bimetal redox system

Various bimetal redox systems Al/MXn (M=V, Nb, Co, Hg, Ge, Sn, Pb and Bi) were found efficient electron sources to promote the reductive coupling of benzaldehyde dimethylacetal into 1,2-diphenyl-1,2-dimethoxyethane 2a.Among these combinations the bimetal system Al/PbBr2 gives the best results with dimethylacetals derived from aromatic aldehydes leading to the corresponding 1,2-diaryl-1,2-dimethoxyethanes 2.On the other hand the reductive dimerization of acetals derived from aliphatic aldehydes does not take place with the previous bimetal redox systems Al/MXn, meanwhile under the same conditions the mixed acetals (α-methoxycarbamates) 4a,b lead to the corresponding carbamates 5a,b by hydrogenolysis of the carbon-oxygen bond (N-C-OMe).

Photoinduced electron transfer C-C bond cleavage reactions; oxidations and isomerizations

We have shown that radical cations generated by photoinduced electron transfer (ET) in 1,2-diarylethanes, aryl pinacols, and their derivatives undergo fragmentation reactions.In the presence of oxygen oxidative products are obtained.Timerresolved laser flash photolysis and other ancillary techniques have permitted us to define the mechanisms of certian oxidative processes observed.
