Abstract

The reactions of aryllithium compounds (Ar= phenyl, 1-naphthyl, xylyl, mesityl) with CO have been studied under several reaction conditions. A 13C NMR method developed to determine radicals at preparative concentrations revealed the presence of radical anions in the reaction mixtures in concentrations comparable to those of the reagents. ESR spectroscopic studies, the effect of radical inhibitors, kinetic measurements and isolation ...
