Abstract

Abstract: Photoreduction of acetophenone by 2-butylamine leads to acetophenone pinacol and to N-Zbutylidene-2-butylamine. Photoreduction of acetophenone and of p- methylacetophenone by a-methylbenzylamine leads to the three products of coupling of the radicals formed by the initial abstraction of hydrogen, pinacols, amino alcohols, and diamines. The radicals derived from the purely aliphatic alcohols and amines reduce a ...
