To discover a new procedure for producing hydride
which is Barton Mc-combie reaction.
Knowing the reaction application and its recent
literature.
The Barton-McCombie deoxygenation is an organic
reaction in which an hydroxy functional group in
an organic compound is replaced by a hydride to
give an alkyl group [1][2]. It is named for the British
chemists Sir Derek Harold Richard Barton (1918–
1998) and Stuart W. McCombie.
This deoxygenation reaction is a radical substitution.
In the related Barton decarboxylation the reactant
is a carboxylic acid.
The reaction mechanism consists of a catalytic radical initiation step
and a propagation step.[3] The alcohol (1) is first converted into a
xanthate (2). The other reactant tributyltin hydride 3 is decomposed
by AIBN 8 into a tributyltin radical 4. The tributyltin radical abstracts
the xanthate group from 2 leaving an alkyl radical 5 and tributyltin
xanthate (7). The sulfur tin bond in this compound is very stable and
provides the driving force for this reaction. The alkyl radical in turn
abstracts a hydrogen atom from a new molecule of tributyltin
hydride generating the desired deoxygenated product (6) and a new
radical species ready for propagation..
We have learned about Barton Mc-combie
Reaction ,its radical mechanism and we know
that its part of deoxygenation reaction in
which hydride is produced.
