After 118 years, the isolation of two common radical anion reductants as simple, stable solids.
Two common radical anion reductants, potassium benzophenone ketyl (K(Ph(2)CO)) and potassium naphthalenide (K(2)(C(10)H(8))(2)(THF)), have been isolated and characterized for the first time in solvent-free form or with low solvent content, allowing their use as pure solid reactants in preparative redox chemistry in accurate stoichiometric amounts.
