Isolation of Novel Radical Cations from Hydroquinone Ethers. Conformational Transition of the Methoxy Group upon Electron Transfer

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00119a017

Hydroquinone ethers as the bis-annulated derivatives R1-R3 are excellent electron donors by virtue of the facile oxidation to their radical cations R1^.(1+), R2^.(1+), and R3^.(1+) that are readily isolable as unusually robus
