✦ Synopsis

The photoreaction of systems containing N-oxides and amines has been studied by ESR. The lowest triplet state of the heteroaromatic N-oxide combines with triethylamine to form an exciplex. Oxygen transfer and a-cleavage of the N-C bond in the amine part of the exciplex gave diethyl nitroxide.
