The photochemistry of the 2-(1-naphthyl)ethyl benzoates 6 and 7 was examined in order to compare them to previously studied 2-arylethyl 4-cyanobenzoates that underwent a Norrish Type II fragmentation. The 1-naphthyl group was incorporated to provide a fluorescent chromophore for probing the intramolecular electrontransfer proposed previously for the mechanism. The naphthalene fluorescence was quenched
