Reaction of triplet aryl nitrenes and azides with molecular oxygen

Abstract
Photolysis of aryl azides in the presence of oxygen gives nitro-compounds via a triplet nitrene and, in the case of para-substituted azides, also the azoxy-compound, probably via the nitroso-compound from the reaction of excited azide with oxygen, while triethyl phosphite deoxygenation of nitrosobenzene under oxygen also gave some nitrobenzene.
