Abstract

Photolysis of cyclohexyl iodide with aromatic compounds led to aromatic cyclohexylation by a process apparently involving a cationic cyclohexyl species. ... Photolysis of simple alkyl iodides has been shown to produce cations via electron transfer between an initially formed radical pair (equation 1).1>* In light of our interest in aromatic alkylation processes (eg, acetonylation,3 nitromethylation,4 and cyanomethylation5.6), we were interested in determining if ...
