I 2HE EFFECT OF ULTHAViaLES LIGH3? UK>3Sr SOME OHSASIC COMPOinSDS IlSaODUCTIOH j There are almost inmimer^le references in the liter- I ^ ature to work done upon the effect of rays emitted "by I i mercury vapor and other so-called ultraviolet light sources I I on organic compounds. Any attempt to classify or organize J this mass of information would be almost futile and far I I I beyond the scope and magnitude of this undertaking. It was found that there are available two excellent books which will I I give a large amount of general information upon this particu- I lar subject. These are by Ellis and »5ells1 and by Morton2 . I The object of this present -ssork was to advance studies already started by Gilman and co-workers upon the stability of the Srignard reagent toward li^t^ and heat^. An added incentive was the fact that more recently ISae. Hamart Lucas and M. Salmon Legagneur 5 reported that isobutyl chloride (1) ELlis and vVells,' "Chemical Action of Ultraviolet Hays," Ohemical Catalog Company, Sew York. 1935. (2) Morton, "Radiation in Chemistry," L. Van ETostrand Company lev? York, 1938. fS) Gilman and Meyers, Ind. ling. Chem., 15, 61 {192S). I Gilman and Meyers, ibid., 14, 243 {192277 I (4) Gilman and Peteraon, Hec. trav. chem., 247 (1929). {5) Mne. Eamart Lucas and M. ?. Salmon Legagneur, Compt. rend. 186, 59 (1928). could "be changed to tertiary "butyl chloride by means of ultraviolet rays. This stuo^ prompted Gilman and Heels:® to determine whether it would be possible to cause a simi lar rearrangement of the corresponding orgsnomagnesium 7 halides . 2fhe conclusion reached was that ultraviolet rays affected isobutylmagnesium chloride and tertiary butyl- magnesium chloride to no appreciable extent inasmuch as any rearrangement was concerned. It mi^t be mentioned in this connection that Berthelot and Gaudechon 7a have reported that zinc diethyl decomposes under ultraviolet light to deposit free "sine and evolve a gas. However mercury diethyl decom poses to give free mercury simply by standing in the labor atory. In addition to vjork which was
