The PhIO promoted oxidation of N-methyl-9-t-butylacridane (1) catalyzed by tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl) porphyrin iron(III) leads first to 9-t-butylacridane and then to acridine. It is suggested that 1 can represent a reliable machanistic probe to detect the intervention of radical cations in the oxidation of aromatic amines. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Herein, we report, a general, facile and environmentally friendly Minisci-type alkylation of N-heteroarenes under simple and straightforward electrochemical conditions using widely available alkylhalides as radical precursors. Primary, secondary and tertiary alkyl radicals have been shown to be efficiently generated and coupled with a large variety of N-heteroarenes. The method presents a very high
