Abstract

Photolysis of the 1-(halomethy1) naphthalenes (X= C1, Br, I) in methanol and in cyclohexane solution was investigated. Direct and sensitized irradiation leads to carbon- halogen bond cleavage. In methanol solution direct irradiation leads to products of carbon- halogen bond heterolysis, ie,(methoxymethyl) naphthalene, as well as products derived from bond homolysis. In cyclohexane only homolysis products are observed. The mechanism ...
