Abstract

Benzyl chloride and a variety of meta-and para-substituted derivatives have been irradiated in tert-butyl alcohol at 254 nm or in acetone-tert-butyl alcohol mixtures at 300 nm. Quantum and chemical yields of photosolvolysis products (benzyl tert-butyl ether and/or benzyl alcohol), photohomolysis products (bibenzyl and 4-phenyl-2-methyl-2-butanol), and corresponding products from substituted benzyl chlorides have been measured as ...
