Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy: Application to Proof of Structure of Organic Ketones

Many ketones containing an agr-methylene group can be converted to agr-diketone radical anions in dimethyl sulfoxide solution. The resulting radical anions can usually be unambiguously identified by electron spin resonance spectroscopy, and the structure of the starting ketone may be deduced, often without reference to model compounds. The technique is also applicable to agr-diketones, agr-bromoketones, and agr-hydroxyketones.
