Abstract

The photochemical properties of the title compounds have been investigated and compared. The benzoxazino-benzoxazine derivatives 1 are photochemically converted into hydrogenated oxazole derivatives. In some cases this ring contraction is accompanied by a dehydrogenation reaction whereby the heterocyclic ring system becomes aromatic. Hydrogenated quinoxalino-quinoxalines also undergo a photodehydrogenation reaction ...
