Evidence for Rapid and Reversible Equilibration of the γ,γ-Diphenylallylcarbinyl and Diphenylcyclopropylcarbinyl Free Radicals

Abstract

We wish to report an example of an unusually facile and reversible free-radical rearrangement in which a substituted allylcarbinyl free radical is interconverted with the corresponding cyclopropylcarbinyl radical. The investigation of the radical rearrangement complements previous studies on analogous carbanion and similar carbonium ion systems.
