The photochemical reaction of 1,4-naphthalenedicarbonitrile (NDN) with benzylic derivatives of the general formula PhCHRX (R = H, Ph; X = H, C, O, S, Si, Sn-bonded substituents) has been investigated.The competition between C-H and C-X bond cleavage in the photochemically created radical cation PhCHRX(.+) is revealed by the different chemical products formed, viz. 5,11-methanodibenzocyclooctenes (2), from proton transfer and coupling of the radicals within the cage, and 2-benzyl- (3) and 1-benzyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalenes (4), as well as 4-benzyl-1-naphthalenenitriles (5), from the reaction between the radical anion NDN(.-) and the neutral radicals PhCHR(.) or PhCRX(.).With the alcohols, the hydroxylic proton is easily transferred.Measurement of reaction quantum yield and fluoroscence quenching and thermochemical calculations support the mechanism proposed.

It was found that dibenzyl disulfide undergoes lithium diisopropylamide-induced fragmentation to afford several intermediate species which, on trapping with alkyl halides, lead to the formation of 1,2-bis(alkylthio)-1,2-diphenylethanes and α-alkylbenzyl alkyl sulfides.
