Structural Study and Reactivity of Carbanions in Solution: Phenyl- and 3-Pyridylacetonitriles

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00050a015

From the IR and (13)C NMR spectra of Li- and K-associated anionic species 1A,M formed phenylacetonitrile in THF, it appears that monomeric tight ion pairs and THF-solvated aggregates are in equilibrium at 0.25 M concentration; the 0.025 M THF solution for
