Excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) in 2-phenylphenol: an example of proton transfer to a carbon of an aromatic ring

Abstract

The title compound undergoes excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) from the phenol moiety to the 2′-carbon position of the phenyl ring (not containing the phenol hydroxy group), to generate the corresponding keto isomer (a quinone methide).
