Alkylradicals are obtained under mild conditions from 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarbonitrile SET photosensitized fragmentation of t-butyl esters. The same process occurs with undissociated carboxylic acids.

The radical cations of the ethylene ketals of some cyclic and bicyclic ketones are generated by single electron transfer to excited benzene-1,2,4,5-tetracarbonitrile (TCB). Their fragmentation yields 1,5- and 1,6-distonic radical cations, which add to TCB-. to give [omega-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)carbonyl] alkyl]benzenetricarbonitriles. The reduction of the radical center occurs only to a small extent, and is enhanced in the presence of dodecylmercaptan, in the case of hindered radicals. The reaction of the camphor ethylene ketal (both alkylation of TCB and reduction) occurs with total diastereoselectivity at the reacting radical center.

Irradiation of 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarbonitrile (TCB) in acetonitrile in the presence of 1-hexene leads to two isomeric tetrahydroisoquinolines through a 2 + 2 + 2 cycloaddition between TCB, the alkene, and MeCN. The process occurs with moderate quantum yield via a strongly polarized exciplex. With di- and polysubstituted alkenes no cycloaddition takes place, the only reaction observed being substitution of a cyano group by an allyl radical. This is a low quantum yield process occurring via deprotonation of the alkene radical cation and TCB*(-)-allyl radical coupling. The selectivity in the attack on the allyl radical depends on steric hindering. Alternatively, the alkene radical cation can be trapped by methanol, yielding a (beta-methoxyethyl)benzenetricarbonitrile. In the presence of water, the corresponding alcohols are not isolated, since they rapidly fragment to yield alkylbenzenetricarbonitriles. The mechanism is discussed on the basis of the competition of chemical reactions and back electron transfer.

Irradiation of an acetonitrile solution of 1,2,4,5-tetracyanobenzene with aliphatic carboxylic acids gives 2,4,5-tricyanoalkylbenzenes efficiently; electron transfer from the carboxylic acids to the excited tetracyanobenzene is essential.
