Abstract
The flash photolysis (lambda = 266 nm) of four alpha -brominated omicron -x ylenes in apolar solvents gives two transients characterized, depending on parent compound substitution, as either monoradicals or carbenes, and quino dimethanes. alpha -Bromomethylbenzyl radical is characterized and the novel species alpha,alpha'-dibromo-omicron -xylylene and omicron-(alpha,alpha -d ibromomethyl)benzyl carbene are described for the first time.
