Abstract
The two step oxidation of colourless arylcycloheptatrienes to the corr esponding coloured aryltropylium salts occurs either via the initiatio n by photoexcited electron accepters or thermally by tetracyanoquinodi methane (TCNQ). In each case not a hydride ion is transferred but the oxidation follows the electron-proton-electron sequence. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
