The isolation of radical coupling products and the observation of appropriate CINDP signals suggest that most of the title reactions proceed by homolysis of the anhydro-bases (4) or (9) followed by radical recombinations; a diaza-oxy-Cope rearrangement may still account for the formation of α-acylamination products.
