Reactions of a triplet arylnitrenium ion: Laser flash photolysis and product studies of N-tert-butyl(2-acetyl-4-nitrophenyl)nitrenium ion

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ja00146a003

Photolysis of 1e (N-tert-butyl-5-nitro-3-methylanthranilium ion) (ClO4^- or BF4^- salt) generates the isomeric tert-butyl(4-nitro-2-acetylphenyl)nitrenium ion (2e). The latter further reacts to form iminium ion 4e and parent amine Se a
