Abstract

Polyalkylbenzyl thiocyanates, upon irradiation in acetic acid, readily undergo reversible photoisomerization, giving an equilibrium mixture composed mostly of the corresponding isothiocyanates. Several new bis-and tris (isothiocyanatomethyl) polymethylbenzenes have been prepared by utilizing the photoinduced multiple thiocyanate isomerization.
