studied. The preparative results, the thermal stability of the photochemical substrate, and the limiting quantum yield values obtained from photoreactions with several nucleophiles suggest the possible usefulness of 2-fluoro-4-nitrophenyl ethers as biochemicalphotoprobes.
photosubstitutions of 2-fluoro-4-nitroanisole with several amines are studied from the preparative and the preliminary mechanistic points of view. The possible usefulness of this structure as biochemicalphotoprobe is discussed.
