The near U-V photolysis of t-butyl nitrite has been studied over the temperature range 303-393 K. Under these conditions t-butyl nitrite was shown to be a very clean photochemical source of t-butoxy radicals. This allows a study of the decomposition of the t-butoxy radical to be made over this temperature range (3).

Upon finding 2-(cu,c~,~,~-tetrafluorophenethyl)benzylamine (4) to be a potent and novel type of antiarrhythmic agent, the title compounds were synthesized. Structure-activity relationships in this series are described.
