5. One referee suggested the use of dioxane and DME as a substitute for THF. However, dioxane is highly toxic and prone to cause peroxide formation by air. Since these ether solvents are miscible with water, the recovery/reuse is not easy to carry out, when aqueous workup is employed as in the case of tin hydride/RX reactions.
