An environmentally benign alternative to the toxic tin hydrides in radical chemistry is offered by the introduction of silylated cyclohexadienes 1. Most of the common radical reactions, such as dehalogenations, deselanations, deoxygenations, cyclizations, and intermolecular radical addition reactions can be conducted by using these readily available new reagents.
