Instead, standard reduction predominates, even at low tin hydride concentrations. Some ketone product is formed in the ?-acyloxy substrate at low concentrations, but it is unclear whether this product arises through a slow radical fragmentation process or an inefficient, chain-breaking oxidative process. © 2006 Curran and Turner; licensee Beilstein-Institut.
