Abstract

ABSTRACT The photosolvolysis of several biphenyl methanols (Ph-PhCH [Ph] OH) substituted with hydroxy or methoxy groups on the benzene ring not containing the-CH (Ph) OH moiety has been studied in aqueous solution. This work is a continuation of our studies of photosolvolysis of hydroxy-substituted arylmethanols that generate quinone methide intermediates, some of which are known to be relevant intermediates in toxicology and in ...
