Abstract

Abstract Photolysis of benzophenone oxime esters, prepared with aliphatic carboxylic acids and benzophenone oxime, in benzene and pyridine generates various primary, secondary and tertiary aliphatic radicals selectively, and corresponding alkylbenzenes and alkylpyridines are produced in good yields, respectively.
