Abstract

The effects of incremental additions of benzenethiol on the product distribution of the photostimulated reactions of 2, 3-bis (phenylsulfonyl)-l, 4-dimethyl-(la) and 1, 2-bis (phenylsulfonyl)-3, 4, 5, 6-tetramethylbenzene (lb) with sodium benzenethiolate in M ea 0 have been studied. In agreement with the electron-transfer mechanism previously proposed, the benzenethiol, by acting as a hydrogen atom donor trapping agent on the u radical ...
