Abstract The photolytic reactions of 2-substituted αlyl chloride with t-BuHgCl In different solvents were Investigated. The reactions proceed the SH 2′ reaction mechanism except the substituent is a strong electron-releasing group. The electron transfer process becomes more competitive with the radical addition process when the substituent is a strong electron- releasing group. When the substituent is a strong electron-releasing group such as-CH 2 ...
