Irradiation of (triphenylmethyl)lithium in tetrahydrofuran containing bromobenzene, iodobenzene, or diphenyl sulfoxide produced three major products: tetraphenylmethane (TPM), biphenylyldiphenylmethane (BDM), and 2-(triphenylmethyl)tetrahydrofuran (TTF).The product composition was a function of anion and acceptor concentration and reflected the competition among solvent, triphenylmethyl anion, and triphenylmethyl radical.Product composition studies thus provide detailed information about the key steps in the mechanism.
