Abstract

Photolysis of benzyltrimethylammonium bromide in aqueous t-butyl alcohol gives benzyl t-butyl ether and some toluene by a singlet pathway with more toluene and bibenzyl by a triplet pathway, in each case via a reactive intermediate geminate pair (or pairs); analogous mechanisms are suggested for photolysis of a range of benzyltrimethylammonium salts in water or methanol.
