Abstract Photolysis of 2-azido-N, N-diethylbenzylamine (1) in acetonitrile solution in the presence of various quenchers yields products of common nitrene chemistry (that is, derived from a didehydroazepine or a triplet nitrene), together with products arising from trapping of stereoisomeric iminoquinone methides. These intermediates are formed in a monophotonic process, by dediazotation of the precursor combined with a 1, 4-hydrogen shift. The ...
