Photo-fries rearrangements of phenyl phenylacylates in polyethylene films. Comparison of reactivity and selectivity with 1-naphthyl phenylacylates

The fates and kinetics of recombination of singlet radical pairs generated by photolyses of three phenyl phenylacylates have been examined in unstretched and stretched polyethylene films. Comparisons with results from photolyses of analogous 1-naphthyl phenylacylates in the same media lead to the conclusions that (1) phenoxy is less reactive overall than 1-naphthoxy toward a common phenylacyl radical but (2) the constrained cages in which the radical pairs reside exert greater control over the movements of the 1-naphthoxy/phenylacyl pairs. The reasons for these observations are discussed in the context of the shapes and van der Waals volumes of the radical pairs, the void volumes of sites in native polyethylene films, and the electronic properties of the aryloxy radicals.
