Formation of radical cations of dihydropteridine and dihydroflavin in the photoreduction of pteridine and flavin analogues by benzyl alcohol derivatives

Radical cations of dihydropteridine and dihydroflavin are formed in the photoreduction of pteridine and flavin analogues, respectively, by benzyl alcohol derivatives in the presence of perchloric acid in acetonitrile via photoinduced electron transfer from benzyl alcohol derivatives to the triplet excited states of protonated pteridine and flavin analogues.Their ESR spectra and the stabilities are compared.

Photochromic Systems Utilizing the Reversible Photoredox Reactions between a Flavin Analogue and Benzenethiol Derivatives

Irradiation of a yellowish flavin analogue, riboflavin-2',3',4',5'-tetra-acetate (Fl) in a polymer matrix film as well as in acetonitrile containing benzenethiol derivatives and a base with visible light (λ>360 nm) results in the decrease in absorbance due to Fl (λmax 442 nm).The color reverts to yellow by irradiation of the samples with ultraviolet light (λ360 nm).
