✦ Synopsis

Azyl ketones with ortho alkyl substituents are noteworthy for their photochemical stability, found to be due to a very efficient end reversible hydrogen abstraction reaction.1 Although apparently mechanistically similar to the Type II photoelimination, a number of authors 1,2,3 have recently suggested that a direct conjugative link between reaction centers may provide a unique and energetically favorable mechanism for photoenolization. Evidence has been presented2 for the

## Abstract 5‐Methyl‐1,4‐naphthoquinone (1) is a remarkable probe to study hydrogen and proton transfer reactions. The photoenol 4‐hydroxy‐5‐methylidene naphthalen‐1 (5__H__)‐one (2) is formed in the ground state within 2 ps of excitation and with a quantum yield of unity, presumably through a coni
