title: Photochemical Cleavage of Benzylic C-N Bond To Release Amines.
abstract: The 3-(diethylamino)benzyl (DEABn) group has been studied for releasing primary, secondary, and tertiary amines by direct photochemical breaking of the benzylic C-N bond. While photochemical release of primary and secondary amines provides high yields in methanol, release of tertiary amines in MeCN/water can improve yields and reduce the undesired dealkylation side reaction.
