✦ Synopsis


The photochemistry of a series of derivatives of o-tolyl azide, bearing a variety of substituents in the benzylic positions, has been investigated using matrix isolation spectroscopy and density functional calculations. It has been found that introduction of any substituent possessing a lone pair (i.e., R = Br, Cl, MeO, Me 2 N) allows a 1,4-hydrogen shift to take place, yielding iminoquinone methides. Additional methyl groups in the benzylic position, however, do not promote a photochemical conversion into iminoquinone methides. If the benzylic substituent itself is part of a ring system, the size of [a
