Radical anions of 1‐phenyl‐3‐chloronortricyclene and 1‐phenylnortricyclene were produced by reduction with potassium in 1,2‐dimethoxyethane under a high vacuum. The initially formed radical anion of 1‐phenyl‐3‐chloronortricyclene was very unstable, and decomposed finally to the anions of naphthalene and biphenyl. The only product of the reduction of 1‐phenylnortricyclene was the biphenyl anion. The EPR spectra of the reaction mixtures were measured at temperatures from —80°C to room temperature.
