TRIPLE IONS OF 1,2-AND 1,4-DICARBONYL COMPOUNDS AND ANALOGS THEREOF CONTAINING NITROGEN AND CONTAINING TWO STRATEGIC OXYGEN OR NITROGEN GROUPS AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING SAME

摘要

ABSTRACTStable paramagnetic alkali radical cationic triple ionsof selected 1,2 and 1,4 dicarbonyl compounds and their nitrogen-containing analogs have been produced by both conventionalalkali metal reduction of an appropriate organic compound andby a novel process in which the selected 1,2 or 1,4 dicarbonylcompound or the nitrogen containing analog thereof is mixedwith an alkali tetraphenylborate and irradiated under ultra-violet light.
