PHOTOCHEMISTRY OF ORGANOHALOGENO-COMPOUNDS. PART XIX THE EFFECT OF FLUORINE ON PHOTOCHEMICAL CARBON-HALOGEN BOND CLEAVAGE
Irradiation of 1,1-diphenyl-2-fluoro-2-haloethenes at λ = 253.7 nm gave 1,1-diphenyl-2-fluoroethene and the rearranged product trans-fluorostilbene.The phototransformation depended on the halogen present and the solvent used.Introduction of fluorine on th
