Abstract
The irradiation of p-dicyanobenzene with 254 nm light in 2-propanol causes the alcoholysis of CN group to give isopropyl p-cyanobenzimidate. The UV-irradiation in the presence of acetone or γ-irradiation brings about the substitution of a cyano group by the hydroxyalkyl group derived from the alcohol. The substitution occurs via the electron transfer from hydroxyalkyl radicals or electrons followed, by the attack of hydroxyalkyl radicals.
