Abstract

The photochemical properties of 4-styrylquinoline and its derivatives with fluorine and chlorine atoms and nitro group in the para-position of the styryl moiety were studied. Under irradiation in neutral alcohol solutions, these compounds undergo reversible trans-cis photoisomerization with quantum yields close to 0.5, and the cis-isomers undergo cyclization to give benz[i]phenanthridines with quantum yields that do not exceed 0.01. For several compounds, the primary product of photocyclization, dihydrobenz[i]phenanthridine, was spectrally detected. On passing from the neutral to protonated forms, the photoisomerization quantum yields of these styrylquinolines changed insignificantly, and the photocyclization did not occur at all.
