Abstract

Abstmctr Photolysis of N-hydroxylamines of type 1. in the presence of 1, 4_dicyanonaphthalene (DCN) as an electron acceptor gave high yields of nitrones 2. Crude nitrones have been trapped by 1, 3-cZipolar cycloaddition reaction with dimethyl fumarate. Mechanistic pathways have also been discussed.
