Heating N-phenylacetyldiphenylamine in a sealed tube at 360 deg C gave rise to carbon monoxide, bibenzyl, toluene, stilbene, diphenylmethane, aniline, carbazole, N-benzylcarbazole, acridine, 9-phenylacridine, 4-aminotriphenylmethane, diphenylamine, p-benzyldiphenylamine, and o-aminodiphenylmethane.A similar result was also obtained on heating N-benzyldiphenylamine, with the exception of carbon monoxide.Such results in addition to those obtained from photolysis of N-phenylacetyldiphenylamine are interpreted in terms of a free-radical mechanism.
