Abstract
Reactions of dimethylaniline with some resonance-stabilized radicals were studied. 2-Cyano-2-propyl radicals and 2-methoxycarbonyl-2-propyl radicals reacted to give N-methyl-N-(3,4-dicyano-3,4-dimethylpentyl) aniline and the corresponding 3,4-dimethoxycarbonyl derivative, respectively, while benzyl radicals and α-methoxycarbonylbenzyl radicals did not give reaction products with dimethylaniline. Mechanism of these reactions was proposed and it was pointed out that electron transfer from dimethylaniline to radicals was an important stage in these reactions.
