22. Since the early days of crown ether chemistry, it has been known that the solubility and reactivity of a number of anions can be significantly augmented by the elimination of strong ion association via the addition of crown ethers. The resulting "naked" anions can then be much more reactive. See: Liotta, C. L.; Harris, H. P. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1974, 96, 2250 and references therein.
23. Ion association is normally absent with hydrocarbon anion radicals in HMPA; see: (a) Levin, G.; Jagur-Grodzinski, J.; Szwarc, M. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1970, 92, 2268.

Biaryl radical anions have been produced via the reduction of tetraphenylmethane, triphenylamine, triphenylboron, triphenylphosphine oxide, phenyl ethers, diphenylsilanes, trinapthyl borane, biarylureas, etc. For references, see: (a) Britt, A.
