Abstract

Perchlorotriphenylmethyl radical (PTM) is the paradigm of the chlorine-shielded" inert free radicals"(IF%), which owe their unique chemical inertia to the colossal overcrowding about their trivalent carbon. However, they are active in single electron-transfer processes. The present paper reports and describes a remarkable twc-step chlorination of PTM'consisting of a SET, giving the corresponding carbenium ion (PTM+), followed by chlorideion addition ...
