โฆ Synopsis
Acetanilides should fragment and rearrange in ultraviolet light.2 However, if a suitable neighboring group is available in the ortho position other reactions may occur. For example, irradiation of R-cyanoacetanilide, I_, in aqueous solvents provides not only the expected cleavage and rearrangement of the anilide group, but o-acetamidobensamide, in hydration product (see Equation 1).3a Further,photolysis of o-(phenylethynyl) acetanilide, 2, followed by aqueous workup fields 2&y an hydrate, R-acetamidophenyl benzyl ketone. 3b If the workup is interrupted before water is applied 2-methyl-4-beneylidene-4lJ-3,l-beneoxaeine, 2, is isolated (Equation 1).
