Abstract
Photochemical and chemical reduction of N,N′-dioctyl-4,4′-bipyridinium (C8V2+, 1) to the corresponding radical cation C8V+· (2) leads to an induced disproportionation of C8V+· in a water-organic two-phase system. This process yields the two-electron reduction product N,N′-dioctyl-4,4′(1H,1H′)-bipyridylidene (C8V, 3). The induced disproportionation reaction is a result of opposite solubility properties of the disproportionation products in the two phases. The two-electron reduction product C8V (3) mediates the debromination of 1,2- and 1,1-dibromo substrates.
