Photolysis of diazofluorene (I), a new fluorescent photoactivable reagent, in cyclohexane, cyclohexene, methanol and in mixtures of the solvents is reported.Quantitative analysis of products formed has been carried out.In bulk hydrophobic milieu diazofluorene does show some indiscriminateness in its insertion reactions.The importance of indiscriminate insertion in photoaffinity labeling studies has been dicussed.A simple method has thus been developed to test the indiscriminate properties of a photoactivable reagent by photolysing it first in simple organic solvents.Such studies should prove useful and photoactivable reagents can be tested before applying them directly to biological systems.
