Abstract

Abstract: The 1, 2 migration of the aryl group in deuterated 2-(9-anthryl) ethyl and 2-[9-(10- phenylanthryl)] ethyl radicals has been studied by product analyses with the use of the competing reaction ArCH2CD2'+ Bu3SnH. The rearrangement was so fast that equimolecular mixtures of the unrearranged (ArCH2CD2H) and rearranged (ArCD2CH3) hydrocarbons were obtained even in the presence of a large excess of Bu3SnH (ca. 1 M). ...
