Abstract
A method for the photoinduced evolution of atomic oxygen from pyridazine N-oxides was developed. This underexplored oxygen allotrope mediates arene C-H oxidation within complex, polyfunctional molecules. A water-soluble pyridazine N-oxide was also developed and shown to promote photoinduced DNA cleavage in aqueous solution. Taken together, these studies highlight the utility of pyridazine N-oxides as photoactivatable O(3P) precursors for applications in organic synthesis and chemical biology.
