Abstract

A series of two-component molecular crystals of α-hydroxycarboxylic acids such as benzilic acid ( 1) and S-(+)-mandelic acid ( 2) with aza aromatic compounds such as acridine ( 3), phenanthridine ( 4) and phenazine ( 5) were prepared by crystallization from the solutions of both components. Irradiation of the crystals caused photodecarboxylation and dehydrogenation to give benzophenone ( 6) or benzaldehyde ( 7) as a main product.
