VISIBLE LIGHT- AND GAMMA RAY-INDUCED ALKYLATION IN PYRIDINE RING. EFFECTIVE ALKYLATION WITH VISIBLE LIGHT IN THE PRESENCE OF IRON(III) SULFATE

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1986.409

Quinoline and 4-methylquinoline are alkylated with alkanecarboxylic acid upon visible light- or gamma-irradiation.In the photoalkylation, iron(III) sulfate not only accelerates the reaction, but also improves the selectivity for alkylation.Titanium oxide shows smaller effects than iron(III) sulfate.
