Abstract

Abstract: The design of novel photoprecursors of organic bases and the steric and electronic factors that control their quantum-efficient transformation into free amines or diamines have been investigated. The basic design involves the protection of amines with photolabile [(o- nitrobenzyl) oxy] carbonyl groups or a-substituted analogues. The resulting protected amines owe their light sensitivity to the classical o-nitrobenzyl photorearrangement and ...
