Piperazinetetrone may be viewed as a composite of two imides, i.e., a cyclic diimide.1 It is well-known that adicarbonyl compounds exhibit considerably different photochemical behavior from that of monocarbonyl compounds.2 Therefore, the photochemical reactions of piperazinetetrones are of interest in connection with that of the extensively investigated cyclic imides.3 It has been recently reported that N,N’-dimethyl-piperazinetetrone (la) undergoes decarbonylation on irradiation to give N,N-dimethylimidazolidinetrione.4 In relation to our previous studies on photochemical reactions of nitrogencontaining -dicarbonyl compounds,5 we now report photochemical hydrogen abstraction of N,N’-dialkylpiperazinetetrones. © 1986, American Chemical Society.
