The α-alkyl-β-oxoamides (1a-i) undergo the Norrish Type II photoreaction.The excited ketone carbonyl group in the β-oxoamides (1c, 1f-i) abstracts γ- and δ-hydrogen competitively from the n,?* triplet state.The regioselectivity of the hydrogen abstraction is affected by both the γ- and the δ-substituents.The presence of γ- or δ-substitution increases the γ- or the δ-hydrogen abstraction, respectively.The δ-hydrogen abstraction greatly predominates over the γ-hydrogen absraction in the photolyses of the α-ethyl-β-oxoamides (1f) and (1i).
