The photooxygenation reaction of several nitroaromatic compounds (1 - 8) in aqueous solution is described, the mechanism of reaction is believed to involve photogenerated nitrobenzyl carbanions.

The photooxygenation of nitrobenzyl derivatives 1-10 has been studied in aqueous solution as a function of pH.For m-nitrobenzyl ethers 2-4 and 9, stable α-hydroperoxy ethers (11-13) are the primary photochemical products.Acid hydrolysis of 11-13 gives m-nitrobenzaldehyde and hydrogen peroxide.Quantum yields for photooxygenation are reported for a number of derivatives as a function of pH.Acid and base catalyses of photooxygenation are observed for several compounds.A mechanism involving photogenerated nitrobenzyl carbanion intermediates is proposed.
