Abstract
Photoinduced hydride reduction of 10-methylacridinium ion (AcrH+) by alkylbenzene occurs to yield 10-methyl-9,10-dihydroacridine in the presence of perchloric acid, while photoaddition occurs to yield 9-alkyl-10-methyl-9,10-dihydroacridine in the absence of perchloric acid. The hydride reduction of AcrH+ in the presence of perchloric acid proceeds via protonation of acridinyl radical produced by photoinduced electron transfer from alkylbenzene.Keywords
