The lithiation of diaryl(benzotriazol-1-yl)methanes followed by addition of iodine generates phenanthridines and dimers of hitherto unknown trityl analogues in which the radical center is directly attached to a heteroatom. These dimers differ from those of triarylmethyl radicals by not dissociating in solution, but variable temperature ESR measurements provided direct evidence for the formation of the corresponding diaryl(benzotriazol-1-yl)methyl radicals as intermediates in solution.
