Abstract
Irradiation of 10−4M aqueous 4-chloroaniline or N-(4-chlorophenyl)-benzenesulfonamide at >290 nm in air-saturated solutions produced both 4-chloronitrosobenzene and 4-chloronitrobenzene, with a maximum conversion of 23%. 4-Chloronitrobenzene was stable to photolysis and was not formed primarily from 4-chloronitrosobenzene. Formation of both products is proposed to proceed through an N-peroxide to a nitro radical anion which is either reduced to 4-chloronitrosobenzene or oxidized to 4-chloronitrobenzene.
