Photolysates were concentrated on a rotary evaporator and the residues chromatographed (Silica Gel, 2.5 X 40 cm) and eluted with 0-30% benzene in hexane. Eluted fractions were analyzed by GLPC.Quantum Yields. Potassium ferrioxalate and the procedure described by Calvert and Pitts were used.32 The light source was a 200-W Hg-Xe lamp, and the 405-nm line was isolated by a Jarrell-Ash monochromator.The light intensity was determined twice before and once after the actual photolysis. No change in light intensity was detected during these experiments. The photolysis of 1 and DCA were carried out to ~10% conversion of 1. The photolysate was analyzed by GLPC using an internal standard and determination of GLPC response factors. The quantum yields were determined three times. The photooxygenation of 1 was used as an actinometer for the measurements of the quantum yields for the photooxygenation of 12, 14, and 18, which were irradiated on the merry-go-round.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
