KOtBu as a Single Electron Donor? Revisiting the Halogenation of Alkanes with CBr4 and CCl4

The search for reactions where KOtBu and other tert-alkoxides might behave as single electron donors led us to explore their reactions with tetrahalomethanes, CX4, in the presence of adamantane. We recently reported the halogenation of adamantane under these conditions. These reactions appeared to m...
