Photoredox reaction mechanism of a homologous series p-O2NC6H4O(CH2)nNHPh (1) in acetonitrile and benzene is studied. The major products are p-ONC6H4O(CH2)n−1CHO (3) and aniline derived from intramolecular reaction, but the presence of minor amounts of intermolecular reaction products, p-O2NC6H4O(CH2)n−1CHO (4) and p-ONC6H4O(CH2)nNHPh (5) is confirmed in the reaction mixture. In the presence of an external magnetic field, the yield of 3 is suppressed and those of 4 and 5 are correspondingly increased, while the rates of the disappearance of 1 and of the formation of aniline remain unchanged, suggesting the presencer of biradical recombination process accompanied by intersystem crossing in a rate-determining step. On the basis of these observations, two reaction schemes are proposed. The magnetic field effects provide strong evidence for the presence of a transient species with (nitro)N(OH)–O–CHN< group generally supposed for nitro oxygen transfer process in this type photoreaction.
研究了同族系列 p-O2NC6H4O(

乙腈和苯中的光氧化反应机理。主要产物是分子内反应生成的 p-ONC6H4O( )n-1CHO (3) 和
苯胺,但证实反应混合物中存在少量分子间反应产物 p-O2NC6H4O( )n-1CHO (4) 和 p-ONC6H4O( )nNHPh (5)。在外加磁场的作用下,3 的产率被抑制,4 和 5 的产率相应增加,而 1 的消失速率和
苯胺的生成速率保持不变,这表明在速率决定步骤中存在双辐射
重组过程,同时伴有体系间的交叉。根据这些观察结果,提出了两种反应方案。磁场效应提供了强有力的证据,证明在这类光反应中存在一种带有(硝基)N(OH)-O-CHN<基团的瞬态物种,一般认为这种物种存在于硝基氧转移过程中。
