Synthesis and photocleavage of a new dimeric bis(o-nitrobenzyl) diether tether

Abstract

A new photocleavable linker, 4,4′-bis(alkoxymethyl-3,3′-dinitro)biphenyl, is reported that undergoes photolysis at two positions to release two equivalents of primary, secondary, or benzylic alcohol in yields that are higher than those obtained from the analogous monomeric o-nitrobenzyl ethers.
