A Laser Flash Photolysis Study of Azo-Compound Formation from Aryl Nitrenes at Room Temperature

The species 4-nitrenopyridine 1-oxide is known to exhibit triplet nitrene dominated chemistry to yield azo-dimer products exclusively, even at room temperature. As such, this species, and its analogue 4-nitrenoquinoline 1-oxide, are useful models to probe the mechanism of formation of azo-dimers, which is postulated to proceed by self-reaction of the nitrene or reaction of nitrene with the parent azide. A laser flash photolysis study is described where the kinetics of formation of azo-dimer were found to be most adequately modeled by competition between both mechanisms, and rate coefficients for the competing reactions were determined.
On the photochemistry of 4-azidoquinoline 1-oxide: Structural elucidation of primary photoproduct
Sallans, Larry,Poole, James S.
, p. 41 - 46 (2011)
The primary product of the photolysis of 4-azidoquinoline 1-oxide (1) is believed to be the azo-dimer (4), consistent with the photochemistry of the pyridine analogue (2). This species has not been unambiguously identified, and previous workers have only isolated various isomers of the azoxy species (5). A combined IR, NMR, LC/MS and computational study confirms the structure 4 as the primary product of photolysis of 1 at 355 nm, suggesting that 5 arises from secondary photochemistry of 4.
