Photoreactions of Nitrodiphenyl Ethers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Photoinduced nucleophilic substitution reactions of thirty p-nitrodiphenyl ethers including the herbicides nitrofen and chlornitrofen with a variety of amines were examined. The reaction took place by liberating nitrophenoxide or nitrite, depending on the substituents. Nitrofen liberated mainly nitrophenoxide by reactions with pyridine and 4methylpyridine to give N-phenylpyridinums, whereas chlornitrofen liberated exclusively nitrite to afford N-phenyoxyphenylpyridinums. In organic solvents photoreduction of the nitro group occurred to form nitroso and azo compounds.

Acid and Polarity Effects in Benzene Photoreactions with Alkenes and Alkynes
In 1970 we observed that the course of the photochemical cycloadditions of certain ethylenic and acetylenic compounds to benzene, earlier reported by us [1, 2], was profoundly altered in the presence of proton donors, leading to a type of photochemical Friedel-Crafts reaction [3]. Since then, we have described, mostly in preliminary form, numerous further examples of acid catalysis in the photo...
متن کاملMode of action studies on nitrodiphenyl ether herbicides: I. Use of barley mutants to probe the role of photosynthetic electron transport.
5-[2-Chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]-2-nitroacetophenone oxime-o-(acetic acid, methyl ester) (DPEI), is a potent nitrodiphenyl ether herbicide which causes rapid leaf wilting, membrane lipid peroxidation, and chlorophyll destruction in a process which is both light- and O(2)-dependent. These effects resemble those of other nitrodiphenyl ether herbicides. Unlike paraquat, the herbicidal effec...

Dienophilic ethylenes yield solely ortho photocycloadducts with benzene whereas alkenes and enol ethers give products arising from both ortho and meta cycloaddition. The relative efficiencies of the twoprocesses are largely predictable and this combined with reasonable chemical and quantum yields make these photoreactions realistic synthetic procedures towards bicyclo[4.2.Oloctane and tricyclo[...

A mild, efficient and fast method for the oxidation of alcohols and trimethylsilyl, tetrahydropyranyl and methoxymethyl ethers to their corresponding carbonyl compounds using CrO3 in the presence of rice husk ash (RHA) is reported. All reactions were performed at room temperature in high to excellent yields. A new, efficient and green catalyst, heterogeneous reaction conditions, easy work-up of...
