The photodecoloration rate of colored spironaphtho[1,2-b]oxazine 2 was much slower than the corresponding [2,1-b]oxazine 1. Existence of another photochromic system between two of the open-form isomers of 2, in addition to the well-known one for 1 between the closed and the open forms, was proved.
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.
