Abstract: | Synthesis of N-Alkyl-arylamines by Thermolysis or Photolysis of 3-Alkyl-1,3-bis(p-chlorophenyl)triazenes The thermolysis of 3-alkyl-1,3-bis(p-chlorophenyl)triazenes in benzene or methanol leads to the formation of N-alkyl-p-chloroanilines ( 2 ) in 19–50% yield, N-alkyl-bis(p-chlorophenyl)amines ( 3 ) in 7.5–15.5% yield and 4,4′-dichlorobiphenyle ( 4 ) in 1–7% yield; besides with benzene as the substrate, 4-chlorobiphenyle ( 5 ) (12–20% yield) was also formed. The photolysis in methanol gives only the N-alkyl-p-chloroanilines ( 2 ) in 32–40% yield. In these two cases the results are consistent with a radical pair formation in a solvent cage, recombination (thermolysis) and/or diffusion (thermolysis and photolysis) with intermolecular abstraction of hydrogen. A free radical chain mechanism is involved in the photolytic process and the quantum yield is high. |
