Reactions of recoil T atoms with chloroanilines

The reactions of recoil T atoms with o- and m-C6H4 ClNH2 result in organic yields of 85%. The low T+ yields (1%) indicate that Cl or NH2 abstraction and H substitution in the NH2 group does hardly take place. The yields of HT are about 15%, but it could not be concluded to which extent H abstraction from NH2 contributed to these yields. T-for-H substitution (about 30%) and polymer yields (50%) are not much different as found for other disubstituted benzenes. The presence of a NH2 group has little effect on abstraction, substitution and addition reactions of recoil T atoms. (orig.)
