Abstract

Results Photolysis of allyl iodide in aromatic substrates gives in almost every case investigated a good yield of isomeric allyl arenes (Scheme I); the presence of propene as a by-product was proved by mass spectrometry and no hydrogen iodide was observed in the reaction mixture. Low yields of high molecular weight iodinated by-products were detected in the reaction at very high reaction times; this does not seem, however, to affect isomer ...
