Trapping of an Organic Radical by an O=Cr(VI) Function.
Not only capable of generating organic radicals by H abstraction, chromyl chloride can also trap them again (see scheme). This is confirmed by the crystal structure of a Cr(V) oxo alkoxide, which was formed in three successive steps when bisadamantylidene oxide was allowed to react with CrO(2)Cl(2).
