The scope of photobiological processes that involve absorbers within a protein matrix may be limited by the vulnerability of the peptide group to attack by highly reactive redox centers consequent upon electronic excitation. We have explored the nature of this vulnerability by undertaking comprehensive product analyses of aqueous photolysates of 12 N-p-toluene-sulfonyl peptides with systematically selected structures. The results indicate that degradation includes a major pathway that is initiated by intramolecular electron transfer in which the peptide bond serves as electron donor, and the data support the likelihood' of a relay process in dipeptide derivatives.
α-Keto Amides and 1,2-Diketones from N,N'-Dimethoxy-N,N'-dimethylethanediamide. A Synthetic and Mechanistic Investigation

N,N'-Dimethoxy-N,N'-dimethylethanediamide (1), a 1,2-dicarbonyl synthon prepared from oxalyl chloride, undergoes nucleophilic displacements with Grignard reagents to provide α-keto amides 2-12 in 28-90percent yields.The synthon also undergoes double nucleophilic displacements with organolithium reagents to furnish symmetrical 1,2-diketones 15-23 in 15-84percent yields.A mechanism accounting for all the products from the reaction of 1 with nucleophiles has been proposed.Several control experiments were carried out to support the proposed mechanism.
