Abstract
Photoaromatization of various dihydroheteroaromatics and some carbocyclic dihydroaromatics with excited acetone was examined. Among the tested compounds, indoline, 2,3-dihydro-2-methylbenzofuran, and 9,10-dihydroanthracene were found to be photoaromatized. 2-Thiazolines, 2-oxazolines, 2-isoxazolines, 9,10-dihydrophenanthrene, 2,3-dihydro-5,6-dimethylpyrazine, 3,4-dihydro-1-methylisoquinoline, and 6-methyl-3(2H)-pyridazinone did not undergo photoaromatization, but recovered unchanged or underwent their own photochemical reactions.
