Irradiation of 4-chloro- N,N -dimethylaniline in acetonitrile in the presence of benzene and of various alkenes leads to heterolytic dehalogenation and trapping of the cation. 4-(Dimethylamino)biphenyl is formed in the first case, while with alkenes β-chloroalkylanilines, stilbenes, or allylanilines are obtained depending on the alkene structure. 4-Fluoroaniline is similarly dehalogenated.
