chemical yield upon irradiation with 300 nm light. Caged carbonyl compounds are prepared by their acetalization with (2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)ethyleneglycol followed by oxidative demethylation to produce corresponding (1,3-dioxolane-4-yl)-1,4-benzoquinones. The latter acetals are photochemically inert but can be converted into photolabile hydroquinones by mild reduction in situ.
