Abstract
Abstract 4-Nitroanisole photoreacts with n -hexylamine and ethyl glycinate giving rise to regioselective methoxy and nitro group photosubstitutions respectively. Mechanistic evidences indicate the last is produced through a S N 2 3 Ar * reaction whereas the first arises from a radical ion pair via electron transfer from the amine to a 4-nitroanisole triplet excited state.
