Arylhydrazines react with potassium superoxide to give a variety of products, most of which are derived from interaction of aryl radicals with the solvent.Phenylhydrazine in toluene gives three isomeric metylbiphenyls, diphenylmethane and bibenzyl.In pyridine, the products identified were 2-, 3-, and 4-phenylpyridine.A more complex range of products was obtained from substituted phenylhydrazines.Products are consistent with a process in which superoxide ion abstracts hydrogen atoms from the hydrazines giving radical intermediates, including aryl radicals, which react with the solvents.
