Thus in order to minimize these competitive processes we have used a solvent, acetic acid, less reactive toward•+ NH3 for polar reasons and the smallest amount of Fe (II) salt sufficient to sustain the redox chain already suggested in the previous studies3 for the homolytic amination (Scheme I). Actually, under these conditions, satisfactory amination yields were obtained also with unactivated aromatic substrates, whereas with deactived substrates the yields were lower but still significant. The remarkable fact is that the reaction takes place with a very small amount of Fe (II) salt (< 1%). The yields of aromatic amination are practically unchanged in the range of 0.5-5% of Fe (II) salt, whereas the reaction rate increases with the amount of Fe (II) salt. At higher Fe (II)/HSA ratios the rate further increases, but the yields of amination decrease because the termination step (eq 5) of the chain of Scheme I becomes more important. In the absence of Fe (II) salt, under the same conditions, no amination re-action occurs.Thus it would appear that the chains of Scheme I are rather long; the yields less than quantitative, based on HSA, must be therefore ascribed to the competitive eq 6 because the solvent cannot contribute to a redox chain. An alternate proposal that cannot be excluded is some hy-droxylamine from hydrolysis (eq 6), reacts with HSA, producing a reducing species, such as NH= NH, which contributes to sustain the chain of the Scheme I by transforming Fe (III) to Fe (II) salt. A quantitative study was carried out by using in all cases
