Photochemistry of bis-(ƒ¿-bromoacetyl)benzenes were investigated in both acetonitrile and benzene.
1,2- and 1,4-bis-(ƒ¿-bromoacetyl)benzenes gave xylenes and diacetylbenzenes on photoirradiation.
On addition, the triplet states as well as radical intermediates were observed by laser photolysis
depending on laser intensity. The reaction mechanism will be discussed.
