✦ Synopsis
A series of 4-substituted N-methyl phthalimides was irradiated in the presence of 2,3-dimethyl-Z-butene in methanol and the product distributions of the trapped radical anionradical cation analyzed on the basis of substituent effects on the radical anion. Irradiation of N-methylphthalimide in the presence of alkenes results in two apparently competing processes. from a strong donor (OCH3) to a strong acceptor (C02Me). Clearly these results are in accord with predictions from electrochemical studies and are consistent with the intermediacy of a ground state phthalimide radical anion-alkene radical cation in this reaction.
