Abstract

We synthesized hetero-Diels–Alder cycloadducts from acyl nitroso derivatives and 9, 10- dimethylanthracene, to be photo-inducible HNO-releasing agents and found that introduction of conjugated nitroaromatic groups effectively enhanced the responsiveness of HNO release to UV-A irradiation; we confirmed photoinduced HNO formation by EPR and GCMS analysis.
