1,4-ジフェニル-1,4-ジベンジル-2-テトラゼンの光分解

抄録

Photolysis of 1, 4-dipheny1-1, 4-dibenzy1-2-tetrazene [ 1 ] in diethyl ether at 360 nm leads to produce two N-benzylanilino radicals with a loss of nitrogen, followed by scission of C-N bonds to many radical fragments, which give N-benzylaniline, N-beuzylidene aniline, and benzene as the major products, and benzylamine, toluene, biphenyl, and dipherrylmethane as the minor products. Result of the photolysis of N-benzylaniline suggests that this compound is the essential intermediate of the photolysis of [1]. Pyrolysis of [1] give N-benzylaniline, aniline, toluene, and N-benzylidene aniline.
