PHOTOCHEMICAL REACTIONS OF ARENECARBONITRILES WITH ALIPHATIC AMINES. 1. EFFECT OF ARENE STRUCTURE ON AMINYL VS. alpha -AMINOALKYL RADICAL FORMATION.
Lewis,Zebrowski,Correa
, p. 187 - 193 (1984)
The photochemical reactions of several singlet arenecarbonitriles with aliphatic amines have been investigated. The reactions of 9-phenanthrenecarbonitrile with diethylamaine and its N- and alpha -C deuterated derivatives result in exclusive N-H atom transfer to yield the diethylaminyl and 9-cyano-9,10-dihydrophenanthren-9-yl radicals in benzene solution. Increased solvent polarity results in the formation of both diethylaminyl and 1-(ethylamino)ethyl radical. Similar results are obtained with 9-anthracenecarbonitrile. The competition between aminyl vs. alpha -aminoalkyl radical formation in this and other reactions is reviewed. Aminyl radical formation is characteristic of relatively nonpolar heteroexcimers in which hydrogen bonding may favor N-H transfer. Pure charge-transfer exciplexes, like alkoxyl radicals, yield predominantly the thermodynamically more stable alpha -aminoalkyl radical.

, p. 50 - 54 (2021)
The first copper-catalyzed enantioselective arylcyanation of styrenes has been developed using readily available anilines as aryl radical precursors under mild conditions, which enables easy access to chiral 2,3-diaryl propionitriles with moderate to good
