A study of the solvolysis of a series of (N-nitrosomethylamino)arylmethyl esters and azides and the products of nucleophilic trapping of the corresponding N-nitrosiminium ion intermediates in aqueous media, 25°C, ionic strength 1 M is reported. Structure-reactivity data for the forward and reverse reactions have been obtained. In three cases, the rate constants for reactions of the cations with nucleophiles have been measured directly by laser flash photolysis. The data allow a comparison of the degree to which the N-methyl-N-nitroso functionality enhances cation stability from a thermodynamic and kinetic perspective. It has been possible to deduce that the carbon basicity of azide ion is less than 1 kcal/mol greater than that of acetate ion.Key words: nitrosiminium ions, α-acetoxynitrosamines, carbocations, iminium ions, nucleophilicity.

Photolysis of a dioxolanyl Barton ester results in formation of the vinyloxy radical, via nonstatistical reaction dynamics. The nonstatistical reaction involves ester cleavage, CO2 loss and fragmentation of the intermediate dioxolanyl radical.

Laser flash photolysis of 2-methyl-1-phenylbut-3-en-1-one (1) conducted at irradiation wavelengths of 266 and 308 nm results in the formation of triplet 1,2-biradical 2 that has λmax at 370 and 480 nm. Biradical 2 is formed with a rate constant of 1.1 × 107 s–1 and decays with a rate constant of 2.3 × 105 s–1. Isoprene-quenching studies support the notion that biradical 2 is formed by energy transfer from the triplet-excited state of the ketone chromophore of 1. Density functional theory calculations were used to verify the characterization of triplet biradical 2 and validate the mechanism for its formation. Thus, it has been demonstrated that intramolecular sensitization of simple alkenes can be used to form triplet 1,2-biradicals with the two radical centres localized on the adjacent carbon atoms.
