The Barton-McCombie reaction has been improved and can be carried out now with avoidance of tin by-products which are estimated to be toxic. The new polymer-supported organotin hydride and its consecutive products can easily be separated from reaction mixtures by simple filtration. Examples are given for the deoxygenation of mono-alcohols and diols mainly out of the field of carbohydrates and steroids.
