RCOiAr—>-RAr+ C02(2) R= alkyl or aryl phosphate coupling reaction (eq 1) involves an oxida-tion-reduction sequence at some stage. The solvent ethanol most likely serves as reductant and, indeed, we have isolated acetaldehyde as its 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazone derivative. Another contrastingfeature is that neither photo-Fries products (ie, hydroxyaryl phosphonates) nor solvolysis products (ie, diaryl ethyl, aryl diethyl, or triethyl phosphate) were detected in any of the experiments listed in Table I. 4 The lack of, eg, toluene from tri-p-cresyl phosphate, anisóle from trianisyl phosphate, etc., or any of the cor-responding ethyl ethers, strongly diminishes the possi-bility that free aryl radicals, carbanions, or carbonium ions are produced during the reaction. When an equimolar mixture of triphenyl and tri-p-cresyl phosphates in ethanolsolution was irradiated for 4.5 hr, there was obtained only biphenyl (21% yield, 4% con-version) and 4, 4'-dimethylbiphenyl (53% yield, 48% conversion) in the biaryl fraction. Likewise, when a similar mixture of tri-p-cresyl phosphate and tri-p-(1)(a) Photochemical Studies. VIII.

They could not beisolated by silica gel column chromatography.
