Abstract
Photolysis of arylacetic acids in argon-saturated acetonitrile in the presence of Hg2F2 gives the corresponding 1, 2-diarylethanes as the major product via a radical pathway. This reaction offers an interesting procedure for selective decarboxylation of arylacetic acids with the assistance of a light-sensitive compound.
