A. Albini et al., SYNTHETIC CHEMISTRY VIA RADICALS GENERATED BY PHOTOINDUCED ELECTRON-TRANSFER, Proceedings of the Indian Academy of Sciences. Chemical sciences, 105(6), 1993, pp. 563-566
Radical cations generated by photoinduced electron transfer often unde
rgo a fragmentation fast enough to compete with back electron transfer
. In this way, radicals are generated. Examples of the chemistry of be
nzyl and alkyl radicals under these conditions are given.
