Abstract

Kinetic studies on the photochemical oxidation of 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran have been carried out in binary liquid mixtures of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) with 1-propanol (PrOH). The strongest influence of solvating effects upon the course of this reaction was observed for compositions of the studied mixture corresponding respectively to ca. 50 mol% of PrOH. Additionally, we have carried out analogous studies of photooxidation of cis-cyclooctene. Similarly as previously, the noticeable influence of solvating effects upon the course of this reaction corresponded to ca. 50 mol% of DMF. We suspect that the mechanism of this effect is associated with the formation of the polar intermediate during the ene reaction being easier.
