Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The dark bromodemetalation of a number of organotin and organomercury compounds in toluene or p-fluorotoluene initiates the free-radical bromination of the solvents in the methyl group, which testifies to the generation of free radicals during bromodemetalation.

     
  2. 2.

    A halodemetalation mechanism was proposed, which postulates that donor-acceptor complexes between the reactants, in which the organometallic compound functions as the donor and the halogen functions as the acceptor, take part in the reaction. The mechanism makes it possible to interpret the results obtained in the study (generation of radicals), as well as the previously observed generation of carbcations in the given reaction.
