Abstract
Chlorobenzene was irradiated at 254 nm in ethanol-water mixtures. The main products were HCl, benzene, phenol and phenetole. Quantum yields were obtained in degassed solutions and under different pressures of oxygen. The results were interpreted in terms of a photosubstitution reaction from the singlet state, which involves electrophilic attack to the solvent by a very reactive intermediate. Simultaneously a homolytic bond rupture in the triplet state takes place, which increases with decreasing solvent polarity.
