Exploring Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer with Base-Appended Radical Cations

Investigate how base-appended radical cations can convert hydrocarbons to useful compounds by abstracting hydrogen atoms. Compound MPT-pyris shows stable radical cation behavior, reacting with 1,4-cyclohexadiene to produce benzene. Chemical oxidation yields colored products, supporting a concerted mechanism. Join Ian J. Rhile from Albright College in studying this novel approach in chemistry.

  1. Investigating Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer with Radical Cations Appended with Bases Ian J. Rhile, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Albright College, Reading, PA Base-appended radical cations have the potential to transform hydrocarbons into synthetically useful compounds after abstracting hydrogen atoms. The cyclic voltammogram of compound MPT-pyris reversible, indicating unusual radical cation stability on the electrochemical timescale. Chemical oxidation provides a colored compound, that reacts with 1,4-cyclohexadiene to form benzene. Calculations indicate a concerted mechanism. MPT-pyr
