Alkyl nitrenes have been generated by photolysis of two N-t-alkylbenzoquinone imine N-oxides.These mainly abstract hydrogen to give the corresponding amines which are trapped by reaction with benzoquinone.Intramolecular hydrogen abstraction followed by cyclisation to give a pyrrolidine is a minor process in one case.Attempts to generate α-substituted benzyl nitrenes in this way led mainly to the production of substituted benzyl radicals by C-N bond cleavage of the N-benzylbenzoquinone imine N-oxides.
