Abstract
Based on solid state structure-reactivity correlation studies and on d euterium labeling experiments, it is concluded that the photochemical formation of thiobenzanilides 2a-d from monothioimides 1a-d does not i nvolve initial gamma-hydrogen atom abstraction as originally suggested in the literature. Alternative mechanistic possibilities are presente d and discussed.
