Abstract:
We have investigated the electron absorption, fluorescence and phosphorescence spectra of 8-azasteroids and model compounds containing enaminodicarbonyl fragment. It has been shown that the investigated compounds have absorption and phosphorescence spectra similar in form and position. The results obtained permit the conclusion that the main deactivation channel of the excited singlet state is the intersystem crossing. It is suggested that the investigated 8-azasteroids of enaminodicarbonyl series under light irradiation undergo phototransformations presumably into derivatives with a gamma-pyridone fragment.
