Abstract

Abstract: The following reactions have been demonstrated to proceed by electron-transfer mechanisms and to involve intermediate radicals and radical anions:(a) the coupling of the anion of 2-nitropropane with N-@-nitrobenzy1) pyridinium chloride to form 2-nitro-2-methyl-l- @-nitrophenyl) propane;(b) the coupling of the anion of 2-nitropropane with p-nitro-a, cu- dimethylbenzyl phenyl sulfoxide or sulfone to yield 2-nitro-3-(p-nitrophenyl)-2, 3- ...
