Reactions of excited NH(a1Δ) with C2H6 have been investigated. Reactions proceed via three pathways: (a) insertion of NH (a1Δ) into a C-H bond, (b) abstraction of H, and (c) electro me quenching of NH (a1Δ). From the pressure dependence of yields of the insertion product (C2H5NH2) and fragmentation products (C2H5 and CH3, the branching ratios were determined to be 0.6 for (a), 0.1 for (b) and 0.3 for (c).
