Abstract

Methylene blue photocatalyzed electron transfer reactions of some phenoxyacetic acid derivatives and N-phenylglycine across a liquid/liquid interface led to their efficient decarboxylation. Nanosecond laser flash photolysis studies of this process, in a reverse micellar system of Aerosol-OT (AOT)-benzene-water indicated that the liquid/liquid interface acts as a barrier in controlling the energy wasting back electron transfer. Intramolecular CC bond forming reactions of these radicals were utilized for the synthesis of various chroman derivatives.
