Abstract

The photochemistry of various types of hindered nitrobenzenes, inparticular 2, 6-diakyl- substituted nitrobenzenes, has been investigated. Depending on steric factors, two types of reaction were observed. One, the photochemical reduction and nitro-nitrite rearrangement depending on the solvent employed, and the other, the intramolecular oxygen transfer reaction involving α-and β-carbon atom attack of an alkyl side chain. The former type ...
