Abstract

The photochemical and thermal N-chelate—O-chelate isomerization of D-“arabino”-hexulose phenylosazone (PH) in solution was studied. The rate constants and activation parameters for thermal isomerization were calculated. An obvious wavelength effect on the photoisomerization quantum yield and on the position of the photostationary state was observed. Direct photoisomerization is believed to occur via a common excited singlet state. PH was found to have photochromic properties. The photoisomerization reaction was proved to be a fast efficient method of synthesizing the O-chelate isomer of osazone.
