Data have been obtained showing regularities in product formation following radiolysis of serinol, lysosphingomyelin and photolysis of N ‐(2‐hydroxypropyl)hexanamide, sphingomyelin, which point to the possibility of photo‐ and radiation‐induced destruction of the named substrates via a C–C bond rupture. The key stage of this process is the formation and decomposition of N‐centered radicals generated from the starting compounds.
