  • 1. Institute of Chemical Reagents and Ultrapure Chemical Substances, Moscow (USSR)

Description

By methods of NMR, ESR, and IR spectroscopy and of flash photolysis it was shown that donor-acceptor complexes are formed in the system 2,6-diphenyl-p-benzoquinone-PCl3, a neutral radical is formed in flash photolysis, and the final reaction product is a phosphonium quinone-ylide. A mechanism is proposed for the reaction
