摘要

Photochemical reduction of several 4-picolyl-and N-methyl-4-picolinium esters was examined using product analysis, laser flash photolysis, and fluorescence quenching. It is demonstrated that the radical (anions) formed in these reactions readily fragment to yield a carboxylic acid and a 4-pyridylmethyl radical intermediate. The high chemical and quantum yields observed for these photoreactions suggests that these esters can be used as ...
