Interconversion of carbocations, free radicals and carbanions in nitroxide solutions
Abstract
Both triphenylmethyl anions and cations are converted into triphenylmethyl radicals when dissolved in solutions containing di-t-butyl nitroxide; when oxygen is admitted both solutions yield triphenylmethylperoxyl radicals, but in the carbocation system the nitroxide is decomposed while in the carbanion system it is regenerated.
