โฆ Synopsis
Flash photolysis of the title compounds in cyclohexane gave rise to transient absorptions around 400 nm from a species assigned as 2-quinolone methide. Studies on the photochemistry of aza aromatic compounds have shown that reactions analogous to the hydrogen abstractions of excited carbonyl compounds may take place. 2 Thus 2-(2-hydroxyethyl)quinoline (L), 2-methoxymethylquinoline, and 2-butylquinoline (2) all undergo photoelimination in a similar manner to the -Norrish type II cleavage of carbonyl compounds with y hydrogens. 3 When irradiated in benzene all three compounds are quantitatively converted to 2-methylquinoline.
