Reactions of p-Benzoquinone Diimine Derivatives with N,N-Dimethylanilines
N,N'-Bisalkoxycarbonyl-p-benzoquinone diimine underwent a thermal addition reaction with N,N-dimethylanilines to form an N-C bond between an imino group and an N-methyl group.Upon irradiation the reaction was accelerated.The reaction did not proceed with N-alkyl substituted anilines other than methyl.
