We investigate the properties of binary linear codes of even length whose permutation automorphism group is a cyclic group generated by an involution. Up to dimension or co-dimension 4, we show that there is no quasi group code whose permutation automorphism group is isomorphic to C2. By generalizing the method we use to prove this result, we obtain results on the structure of putative extremal self-dual [72,36,16] and [96,48,20] codes in the presence of an involutory permutation automorphism.
