A broadly based investigation of the effects of a diverse array of substituents on the photochemical rearrangement of p-hydroxyphenacyl esters has demonstrated that common substituents such as F, MeO, CN, CO2R, CONH2, and CH3 have little effect on the rate and quantum efficiencies for the photo-Favorskii rearrangement and the release of the acid leaving group or on the lifetimes of the reactive triplet state. A decrease in the quantum yields across all substituents was observed for the release and rearrangement when the photolyses were carried out in buffered aqueous media at pHs that exceeded the ground-state pKa of the chromophore where the conjugate base is the predominant form. Otherwise, substituents have only a very modest effect on the photoreaction of these robust chromophores.

Nineteen arylethanolamine derivatives related to norepinephrine were prepared and tested for α-adrenergic stimulant activity.In one series the analogues possess a p-hydroxy function, while the meta position is substituted by methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, cyclohexyl, fluoro, chloro, iodo, carboxy, carbomethoxy, and methylsulfamido groups.The other series is meta hydroxylated with the para position substituted by the same groups.The influence of these groups upon the α-adrenergic activity is discussed, and the compounds are compared to octopamine, normetanephrine,norepinephrine, and norphenylephrine.It has been found that the introduction of an isopropyl, cyclohexyl, and fluoro group in the meta position of octopamine improves its affinity by three, five, and six times, respectively, whereas when these groups are introduced in the para position of norphenylephrine their effects are always detrimental.The most active compound, α-(aminomethyl)-(4-fluoro-3-hydroxyphenyl)methanol (44), has about one-hundreth the affinity and the same intrinsic activity as norepinephrine.
