Photolysis of phenacyl-sulphonium and -ammonium salts
Abstract
Various phenacylsulphonium salts have been photolysed in water and in propan-2-ol–water. Most results can be rationalised in terms of homolytic reaction schemes. Phenacylammonium salts are stable to irradiation in aqueous solution but are photolysed in propan-2-ol–water.
