Using toluates as simple and versatile radical precursors
… In summary, we have developed a new, easy and versatile methodology for the
deoxygenation of alcohols that possesses a broad scope and which uses simple and
commercially available toluolyl chloride and samarium(II) iodide. In addition, this
methodology is also useful for the generation of … We believe that heating the reaction
mixture provides appropriate energy to channel the decomposition of the radical anion
through the formation of the c-radical and the toluate anion … We believe that heating the …

The viability of the toluate moiety as a radical precursor has been examined by studying deoxygenation and cyclization reactions.
