Abstract
On photolysis of anisol or phenol with chloroacetamide, methoxy-or hydroxyacetamides were easily obtained. This reaction is one of alkylation on aromatic ring with alkyl halide in very mild condition and provides an example of photo-induced Friedel-Crafts reaction. A photorearrangement of phenoxyacetamide to hydroxyphenylacetamides in good yield was observed. Some discussion for mechanisms of these reactions were also described.
