THE GENERATION AND REACTIVITY OF OXYGEN CENTERED RADICALS FROM THE PHOTOLYSIS OF DERIVATIVES OF N-HYDROXY-2-THIOPYRIDONE

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)92615-7

Oxgen centered radicals, formed by the photolysis of derivatives of N-hydroxy-2-thiopyridone, have been trapped by vinyl ethers.In the case of the benzoyloxy radical, smooth deoxygenation is effected by ^IIIP compounds.Evidence for the formation of the dimethyl^tbutylsilyloxy and of the hydroxy radical is also presented.
