Abstract
The title radicals were generated from 2-(arylazo)-2'-iodobiphenyls us ing the tin hydride method. When the aryl substituent has an acetyloxy or a benzoyloxy group in the ortho position, besides reduction of the hydrazyl radical, a migration of the acetyl or benzoyl from oxygen to nitrogen atom took place. The mechanism of the rearrangement is discu ssed, and evidences supporting a radical pathway are reported, includi ng EPR characterization of the intermediates.
