Abstract

Electrochemical oxidation of a series of diarylmethyl anions was examined. Twelve varingly substituted groups including methyl, dimethyl, ring, and a CH, N (CHJ, group were studied as the lithium salts in dimethoxy-ethane/tetramethylethylenediamine by use of cyclic voltammetry. The potentials depend upon the number and positions of the substituents. The effect of a single methyl group at the various positions as well as the effect of multiple ...
