N-Acylthioxocarbamates, obtained by the reaction of alcohols with acyl isothiocyanates, were reduced by tributylstannane or triphenylsilane under radical conditions to give deoxygenated products of the corresponding alcohols in good yields. An application to regioselective deuteration using tributyldeuteriostannane is also examined.
