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

Stable paramagnetic alkali radical cationic triple ions of selected 1,2 and 1,4 dicarbonyl compounds and their nitrogen-containing analogs have been produced by both conventional alkali metal reduction of an appropriate organic compound and by a novel process in which the selected 1,2 or 1,4 dicarbonyl compound or the nitrogen containing analog thereof is mixed with an alkali tetraphenylborate and irradiated under ultraviolet light.
