- Abstract
- Temperature effect on photochemical reactions of ortho-alkylphenacyl benzoates, one of the recently developed photoremovable protecting groups (PPG), giving indanones (IN) and benzocyclobutenols (CB) was examined. As temperature was lowered, CB was formed preferentially over IN and the amount of IN increased as temperature was elevated. Arrhenius plot of In(IN/CB) versus 1/T gave a straight line from which Ea(IN)-Ea(CB) and A(IN)/A(CB) were obtained. The least sterically hindered 2-methylphenacyl benzoate (1) gave the highest Ea(IN)-Ea(CB) and A(IN)/A(CB) among the ortho-alkylphenacyl benzoates tested in this research including 2,4,6-trimethylphenacyl benzoate (2) and 2,4,6-triisopropylphenacyl benzoate (3).
