EPR Studies on Carboxylic Esters. Part 14.1 Radical Anions of O-Phenyl Halobenzenecarbothioates

Abstract

Radical anions of O-phenyl halobenzenecarbothioates are generated by in situ electroreduction and shown to be mostly persistent by their EPR spectra; in certain cases, dependent on the nature and position of the halogen substituent, elimination of halide anions occurs.
