Abstract

Photoreactions of 1, 2-and 1, 4-dicyanobenzenes (o-and p-DCB) with allylic silanes, germanes, and stannanes in acetonitrile were studied under various conditions. In these photoreactions, one of cyano groups of o-and p-DCB was replaced by allylic groups. With trimethyl (3-methyl-2-butenyl) silane,-germane, and-stannane, the photosubstitution occurred at both α-and γ-positions of the allylic moiety in a constant ratio, regardless of the ...
