✦ Synopsis


In contrast to simple imidazoles, l-methyl-2,4,5_triphenylimidazole (1) produced stable oxetane photoadducts 3_b -2 with good efficiency upon irradiation in the presence of benzophenone derivatives 2_b -2 in acetonitrile solution. Irradiation in the solid-phase was also studied. The oxetanes 2 -Q readily underwent cycloreversion by acid catalysis or by heating. Several years ago we found that 1-methyl-2,4,5_triphenylimidazole (l), in contrast to simple imidazoles, owned unique photochemical reactivity toward 2-cyanopyridine.'
