Title: Photolysis of aryl chlorides with aliphatic amines

Kinetic arguments show that the aliphatic amine assisted photodechlorinations of chlorides of the benzene, naphthalene, and biphenyl series take place mainly from the triplet excited state. Deuterium labeling studies have been used to determine the origin of the hydrogen atom which replaces chlorine when 4-chlorobiphenyl is photoreduced. Three pathways are inferred: hydrogen abstraction from the solvent and protonation both within the exciplex (or radical ion pair) and by external proton donors.
