- 1. In a Birch reaction, an aromatic compound can be treated with Na/CH3OH, it can also be treated with Li/NH3 and have the same product form. One of the intermediates in the Birch reaction is a radical anion. In the example below, anisole could possibly form a radical anion A or B, then will go into C and D. Li/NH3 A B C D A. With the knowledge you have gained from what we have discussed, which anion A or B is more stable? What is your reasoning? B. Is a Birch reaction and oxidation or reduction? Why?arrow_forwardFill the blank space. Compounds containing a phenol group may work as ANTIOXIDANTS to prevent free radical damage. This is accomplished when a free radical (or UV light) encounters a phenol group, turning the phenol group into a radical. However, contrary to typical radical behavior, the structure of the phenol radical can neutralize (or quench) the unpaired electron. Specifically, the phenol structure neutralizes (or quenches) the unpaired radical electron by doing the following: taking the electron and ---------.
