The present invention relates to a process for efficiently producing quadricyclane by the conversion of norbornadiene. A sensitizer, such as a substituted diaminobenzophenone having a solubility in norbornadiene greater than that of Michler's Ketone, may be added to the norbornadiene to form a solution, wherein the sensitizer decreases the induction period at the beginning of the reaction, increases the photon or quantum efficiency of conversion of norbornadiene to quadricyclane, and increases the rate of conversion at the end of the reaction. The solution may be irradiated with light from a metal halide-doped mercury arc lamp and filtered through a sharp cut-off filter to render photochemical transformation of norbornadiene to quadricyclane more efficient than when other light sources are utilized. Furthermore, the addition of a base to the solution tends to result in the formation of fewer by-products in the transformation reaction.
本发明涉及一种通过转化去环二烯高效生产四环烷的过程。可以向去环二烯中添加一种敏化剂,例如可溶于去环二烯中的取代二氨基苯酮,其溶解度大于米氏酮,以形成溶液,其中敏化剂减少了反应开始时的诱导期,增加了去环二烯转化为四环烷的光子或量子效率,并增加了反应结束时的转化速率。可以利用金属卤化物掺杂的汞弧灯照射溶液,并通过锐利的截止滤光片过滤,使得去环二烯到四环烷的光化学转化比其他光源更加高效。此外,向溶液中添加碱会倾向于在转化反应中形成较少的副产物。
