Abstract

The occurrence of an electrophilic phthalonimidyl radical is proposed to account for the N- arylation products obtained by irradiation of phthalonimide in benzene in the presence of an amine and oxygen. Normal carbonyl reactivity is observed in the photochemical reactions of phthalonimide with furan (oxetane formation) and hydrogen donors (photoreduction).
