Photochemical reactions of N-alkyl-and N-aryl-1,4-iminonaphthalene derivatives
Abstract
Upon irradiation N-alkyl- andN-aryl-1,4-dihydro-1,4-iminonaphthalene derivatives undergo photoisomerization to give mainly azatricycloundecatetraene and/or naphthalene derivatives depending upon the substituents on the nitrogen atom and the aromatic ring.
