Photochemical reactions of di(naphthyl-1-methyl)mercury in various solvents

It was found that the photolysis of di(naphthyl-1-methyl)mercury ( 1 ) gives 1,2-dinaphthylethane ( 2 ) in heptane and benzene solvents and 2 and 1-methylnaphthalene in isopropanol and acetonitrile. Irradiation of 1 in carbon tetrachloride gives 2 and ClHgCH 2 C 10 H 7 as primary reaction products,...

Zusammenfassung:It was found that the photolysis of di(naphthyl-1-methyl)mercury ( 1 ) gives 1,2-dinaphthylethane ( 2 ) in heptane and benzene solvents and 2 and 1-methylnaphthalene in isopropanol and acetonitrile. Irradiation of 1 in carbon tetrachloride gives 2 and ClHgCH 2 C 10 H 7 as primary reaction products, while the chloride is further photolyzed to 2 . Quantum yields of the photolysis of 1 are high and equal to unity almost for all solvents. The chloride photodecomposition yield is an order of magnitude lower (0.1).
