Abstract
Thiocarbonyl derivatives of secondary alcohols are readily reduced by diphenylsilane in a radical chain process at room temperature using triethylborane-air as an initiator. Primary alcohols react similarly at 80°. Comparison is made with the similar reactivity of tris(trimethylsilyl)silane.
