Benzaldehyde and N-benzyl-N-methylformamide are the reaction products, oxygenation representing ca. 9% of the overall quenching of 1O2 by
1. The temperature effect and the intermolecular and intramolecular kinetic deuterium isotope effects were also determined. It is suggested
that the products derive from an intracomplex hydrogen atom transfer in a reversibly formed charge-transfer complex.
