Reductive Cleavage of Diarylalkyl Methyl Ethers by Electron Transfer from Alkaly Metals

Reductive Cleavage of Diarylalkkyl Methyl Ethers by Electron Transfer from Alkali Metals The reaction mechanism of the reductive cleavage of two model diarylalkyl methyl ethers by electron transfer from alkali metals in tetrahydrofuran has been investigated.
