Homolytic fragmentation of allyloxychlorocarbene.
The decomposition of allyloxychlorocarbene in hydrocarbon solvents leads via homolysis to allyl and COCl radicals, which recombine to 3-butenoyl chloride or (after scission of (*)COCl to CO and (*)Cl) to allyl chloride. Labeling experiments show that both products are formed in part with allylic rearrangement.
