695 01 9, India Charge-transfer (CT) complexes formed between various para-substituted benzoyl chlorides and triethylamine in acetonitrile have been studied spectrophotometrically. Photoactivation of these CT complexes lead to products arising from the reactions of acyl and aminoalkyl radicals. These photochemical processes have been utilized to generate acyl radicals from 0-allylsalicylyl chloride which undergoes intramolecular cyclization to form 3-methylchroman-4-one 20 in good yields.
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.
