Electron-Transfer Photosensitized Oxygenation of Stilbene and Naphthalene Derivatives in the Presence of Acetate Ion. Controlling the Reaction of the Cation Radicals by Weak-Nucleophilic Salts
The 9,10-Dicyanoanthracene (DCA)- or 9-cyanoanthracene-sensitized photooxygenation of trans-stilbene derivatives gave benzaldehyde derivatives efficiently in the presence of weak-nucleophilic salts, such as Et4NOAc and KOAc/18-crown-6 ether. The product distribution of this photooxygenation was apparently different from that of each photooxygenation in the presence of Mg(ClO4)2 and Et4NBF4 or in the
