THE MECHANISM OF PHOTOOXIDATION OF THE MENAQUINONES
Creed, David,Werbin, Harold,Daniel, Tom
, p. 2039 - 2042 (1981)
Irradition of menaquinone-1 under nitrogen gives rise to metastable isomeric o-quinone methides, one of which reacts with oxygen in the dark to form the same hydroperoxide obtained previously from direct or dye sensitized photolysis of the quinone in the presence of oxygen.
