Abstract

Abstract: Photolysis of 1-(o-chloropheny1) naphthalene proceeds with unusual efficiency to give a high yield of fluoranthene under a wide variety of conditions, while 1-(o4odophenyl) naphthalene gives a variety of rearrangement and solvolytic products but virtually no fluoranthene. The bromo derivative exhibits intermediate behavior. The above chloro compound produces fluoranthene in somewhat better yield and quantum yield in more ...
