Abstract

Abstract: A new photochemical reaction, the photocyclization of 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl) benzyl alcohol (1) and derivatives to 6H-dibenzo [b, dlpyrans, is reported. The quantum yield for cyclization of 1 to give pyran 7 is 0.50 f 0.04 in aqueous solutions of pH> 10. At lower pH,@ is significantly lower. For example at pH 7,@= 0.25 0.03. Results from investigations of structure-reactivity, pH effects, and fluorescence data suggest a mechanism in which the ...
