KrF Excimer Laser-induced Dehydrochlorination of 1,2-Dichloropropane

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1988.917

Dehydrochlorination of 1,2-dichloropropane was conducted with and without irradiation of KrF excimer laser (248 nm).It afforded four products, cis-1-, trans-1-, 2-, and 3-chloropropene.The reaction was remarkably accelerated with irradiation of laser especially at the low temperatures.
