Irradiation of 2-phenylethyl-l-C/sup 14/ bromide with up to 133 million rads of Co/sup 60/ gamma rays gave 2-phenylethyl-2-C/sup 14/ bromide with a mean G/sub r/ of 0.30 plus or minus 0.01. Similar studies with 2-pr/ of 0.46 plus or minus 0.04. Monomeric, liquid organic products were found to be benzene, ethylbenzene, and styrene, or the analogous pmethoxy derivatives, from the irradiation of 2-phenylethyl bromide or 2-p-methoxyphenylethyl bromide, respectively. Possible mechanisms for the radiation-induced isotope position rearrangements are discussed. (auth)
