✦ Synopsis
The (CH,),COMu radical forms when positive muons are stopped in pure acetone and dilute mixtures of acetone in n-hexane or water. Muonium is the precursor of the radical in dilute solution and evidently differs from hydrogen in adding readily to the carbonyl group. In micelles this addition reaction appears to be superceded by enhancement of the abstraction reaction because the radical is not observed.
