Ai. Iancu et al., ELECTRON-TRANSFER REACTIONS .1. UNUSUAL BEHAVIOR OF TRIPHENYLCHLOROMETHANE IN NITROBENZENE, Revue Roumaine de Chimie, 37(11-12), 1992, pp. 1275-1278
The reaction of triphenylchloromethane 1 with nitrobenzene 2 under bot
h thermic and ultrasonic activation has been investigated. The obtaine
d products indicate as possible an electron transfer mechanism in whic
h triphenylchloromethane is donor and nitrobenzene is acceptor. This t
ype of electron transfer from triphenylchloromethane has not been obse
rved until now. 1
