✦ Synopsis
Selectively deuterated 2-chloropropane (CDsCHClCDs) is used to investigate photoinduced, site-specific C-H (or C-D) bond cleavage. In this study, a two-color photolysis approach is employed to create an intermediate photofragment( s) and then produce a neutral H or D atom from that photofragment (s). On a per site basis, the experimental results suggest that 222 nm photolysis of an intermediate, most likely the isopropyl radical, will preferentially induce carbon-hydrogen bond cleavage at the 2 position -not the lowest energy pathway.
