Radical anions (or the corresponding salts) derived from @K03386@ by addition of an electron R2C·–O\(\leftrightarrow\) R2C–O·.
Note:
Ketyls produce two types of conjugate acids: R2C.–OH and R2CH–O.. The former are α-hydroxyalkyl radicals and the latter are alkoxyl radicals, but they have also been called ketyls in @P04588@.
