The kinetics of the Electron Donor–Acceptor (EDA) complex between N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine and m-dinitrobenzene in acetonitrile has been studied by the temperature-jump technique. The magnitude of the rate constants of association and dissociation, although relatively large, is well below the diffusion control values. The calculated rates closely coincide with those obtained by chronoamperometry. An entropy control is suggested for this reaction. The results obtained in this work are useful to demonstrate that the concept about EDA complexes being formed by diffusion-controlled reactions should not be generalized. Keywords: electron donor–acceptor complexes, m-dinitrobenzene, N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine, T-jump, kinetics.

A metal- and catalyst-free photoinduced radical cascade hydroalkylation of 1,7-enynes has been disclosed. The process is triggered by a SET event involving a photoexcited electron-donor-aceptor complex between NHPI ester and Hantzsch ester, which decomposes to afford a tertiary radical that is readily trapped by the enyne. <a>The method provides an operationally simple, robust and step-economical approach to the construction of diversely functionalized dihydroquinolinones bearing quaternary-centers. A sequential one-pot hydroalkylation-isomerization approach is also allowed giving access to a family of quinolinones. A wide substrate scope and high functional group tolerance was observed in both approaches</a>.
