Photolysis of 0,/3-bis (o-methoxyphenyl)-substituted vinyl bromides gave benzofuran derivatives which are derived from an intramolecular nucleophilic attack of the methoxyl group on an intermediate vinyl cation. With-aryl-substituted vinyl bromides, only one type of benzofuran derivative was detected. However, when the a substituent was a hydrogen or a methyl group, two isomeric benzofurans were formed, one via the unrearranged vinyl cationand the other via an (o-methoxyphenyl)-rearranged vinyl cation. Irradiation of a-methyl-/3,/3-bis-(o-methoxyphenyl) vinyl bromide in nucleophilic solvent, ie, methanol, did not result in solvent-incorporated products. In thephotolysis of/¡-(o-methoxyphenyl)-substituted vinyl bromides a selectivity-reactivity relationship between the cyclization and the rearrangement of the intially formed vinyl cation was observed.It is well-known that irradiation of vinyl halides gives products derived from vinyl radicals as the reactive in-termediates. 1 However, it was recently found that an ionic itermediate, ie, a vinyl cation, was also generated in the course of the photolysis of vinyl halides. We reported that in the photolysis of 1, 1-diaryl-2-halo-ethylenes2 3and l, l-diaryl-2-halopropenes3 the corre-sponding vinyl cations were generated by an internal electron transfer in the vinyl radical pairs which were initially formed by homolytic fission of the carbon-halogen bond (eq 1). McNeely and Kropp reported that sol-vent-incorporated products were obtained in the photolysis of alicyclic vinyl halides andsuggested that vinyl cations
