Photolysis of a series of E or Z stereoisomeric alpha-R-substituted bromostyrenes (R = CH3, F or CN) in methanol yields E and/or Z stereoisomeric styrenes, which stem from the corresponding vinyl radicals. The results show that the alpha-Me vinyl radical is a rapidly equilibrating, bent structure, while the alpha-F vinyl radical is a stable bent species, in agreement with earlier thermal results. The alpha-CN vinyl radical is assigned as a rapidly inverting bent and not a linear species from the stereochemical results as a function of temperature. Stereochemical data for the alpha-C(H)=O system in diethyl ether indicate a stable bent vinyl radical as product forming species. The conclusions are supported by quantum chemical computations.
