The relative reactivities of alkylmercury halides towardPhS", PhSe", or I" decrease drastically from R= zerz-butyl to R= sec-alkyl to R= n-butyl, indicative that R" is formed in the rate-determining step in the attackof these radicals upon RHgCl. The alkyl radicals thus formed will enter into chain reactions in which a heteroatom-centered radical (A") is regenerated from substrates such as RS-SR, ArSe-SeAr, ArTe-TeAr, PhSe-S02Ar, Cl-S02Ph; ZCH= CHA (A= Cl, I, SPh, S02Ph); or PhO^ CHA (A= I, SPh, S02Ph)./3-Styrenyl (PhCH= CHA, Ph2C= CHA) and/3-phenethynyl (PhC^ CA) systems with A= I, Br, S02Phalso enter into chain reactions with mercury (II) salts with the ligands PhS, PhSe, PhS02, or (EtO) 2PO. The relative reactivities of a series of reagents toward Z-Bu* and of PhCH= CHA, Ph2C= CHA, and PhO^= CA toward c-C6Hu" are reported as well as the regioselectivity of Z-Bu" attack observed for 1, 2-disubstituted ethylenes (ZCH== CHA) with Z and A from the group Ph, Cl, Br, I, S02Ph, SPh, Bu3Sn. Reactions of (£)-and (Z)-PhCH= CHI or Me02CCH= CHI with Z-Bu" or c-C6Hu* occurred in a regioselective and stereospecific (retention) manner. Reactions of (£)-and (Z)-C1CH= CHC1 occurred in a nonstereospecific manner in which the£/Z product ratio increased with the bulk of the attacking radical. A similar effect on the£/Z product ratios was observed for (Z)-Me02CCH= CHCl.Alkylmercurials (RHgX, R2Hg) are recognized to undergo attack at mercury by halogen atoms to form alkyl radicals. 3-5 Reactions of alkylmercurials with halogen molecules yield the alkyl halides by both homolytic attack at mercury and electrophilic attack at carbonalthough in many cases it is possible to select conditions which will favor either the ionic or homolytic process. 3 The reactions between alkylmercurials and vicinal dihalides (eg, C2C16) leads to dehalogenation by a free-radical chain process involving halogen atom abstraction by R* followed by a/3-elim-ination of a halogen atom which regenerates R" by attack upon the mercurial. 6· 7
