Photochemical reactions of tetraorganoborate salts: Electron transfer-mediated photoreductions and alkylations and di-pi-borate rearrangements

The photochemical reaction of sodium borohydride and methyltriphenylborate with halo-substituted cyanonaphthalenes has been studied. The reaction leads to photo-dehalogenation in high yield. Sodium borohydride was also found to react photochemically with dicyanonaphthalene, leading to reduction products. These reactions are proposed to occur through an initial electron transfer step.
