Photoinitiated reactions of p-bromobenzyl methyl and p-bromobenzylphenyl ethers with sodium benzenethiolate result in replacement of both the bromine atom in the aromatic ring and the methoxy or phenoxy group. The reaction follows the radical-anion nucleophilic aromatic substitution pattern, and fragmentation of radical anions derived from the substrate occurs along two competing pathways. The competing fragmentation of radical anions can be used as a test for the radical-anion substitution mechanism.
