Ethers p-bromobenzyl phenyl

Two related studies have been performed on radical anion nucleophilic substitution reactions. The photo-induced reactions of p-bromobenzyl methyl and p-bromobenzyl phenyl ethers with sodium benzenethiolate gave substitution of both the bromine atom in the aromatic ring and the methoxy/phenoxy group. It is postulated that the reaction follows a radical-anion nucleophilic aromatic substitution mechanism, followed...
