Abstract:
Photochemical cleavage reactions of 8-quinolinyl benzenesulfonate derivatives and related sulfonates in aqueous solutions are reported. The 8-quinolinyl benzenesulfonates undergo photolysis upon photoirradiation at 300-330 nm to give the corresponding 8-quinolinols and benzenesulfonic acids with the production of only negligible amounts of byproducts. The effects of substituent groups of the 8-quinolinyl moiety and the benzene ring on the photolysis reactions were examined. Based on steady-state mechanistic studies using a triplet sensitizer, a triplet quencher, and electron donors, it was suggested that the photolysis proceeds mainly via the homolytic cleavage of S-O bonds in the excited triplet state.
