Abstract
Photochemical addition of the aromatic nitro group with aromatic methoxy compounds leading to the cleavage of the aromatic ring was studied. The oxidative cleavage occurs selectively at 1,2-bond with respect to a methoxy group of methoxybenzenes and methoxynaphthalenes. Aromatic nitro compounds having the lowest p,p*triplet are more effective to the oxidative ring cleavage of the methoxynaphthalenes than those having the lowest n,p*triplet. A mechanism involving charge-transfer complex is proposed. The scope and limitation on the use of these photochemical reactions are discussed.
