Abstract

On irradiation (254 nm), 2-(N-methylanilino)-N-phenylsuccinimide (6a) underwent homolysis of the C (2)-N bond to yield fission products N-methylaniline and N-phenylsuccinimide (12), along with the products of ortho-and para-rearrangement 2-[2-(N-methylamino) phenyl]-N- phenylsuccinimide (13) and 2-[4-(N-methylamino) phenyl]-N-phenylsuccinimide (14a) respectively. Similarly, irradiation of 2-(N-methyl-anilino) succinimide (6b) and N-benzyl-2- ...
