All articles of this category Triethylborane-induced radical reduction of organic halides with tri-2-furanylgermane provided the corrresponding reduced compounds in good yields. Radical cyclization of β-haloalkyl allyl ether or 6-halo-1-alkene afforded five-membered products under the same reaction conditions. These reactions proceeded with NaBH 4 in the presence of a catalytic amount of germanium hydride. tri-2-furanylgermane - triethylborane - reduction - radical reaction
