The first one is a Calpha-H hydroxylation on the N-substituent to form a carbinolaniline complex, and the second is a decomposition of the carbinolaniline to yield cyclopropanone (or formaldehyde) and N-methylaniline (or N-cyclopropylaniline).

Chem Res Toxicol. 2008 Mar;21(3):746-51. Epub 2008 Jan 19.

The cytochrome P450-mediated alpha-hydroxylation of the carcinogenic nitrosamines N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA, 1), 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK, 6a), and 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol (NNAL, 6b) produces diazonium ions and formaldehyde.
