Abstract
Superoxide salts like potassium and sodium superoxide are virtually insoluble in non-polar media, and although they are somewhat more soluble in hydroxylic media, they are not stable in these solvents [1]. Potassium superoxide is only sparingly soluble in the dipolar aprotic solvent DMSO [2]. As a result of these solubility problems and the inaccessibility of electrochemically generated superoxide [3] in most laboratories, the chemistry of this potentially interesting nucleophile was little studied until recently.
