Abstract

On UV irradation, 2, 6-dichlorocinnamic acid and its esters undergo photocyclization with elimination of the elements of HCl or RCl (R= alkyl or aryl) to yield 5-ChlO~ OCOUmarin (2); amide derivatives yield the corresponding imino analogues. Low-temperature irradiation monitored by infrared and optical spectrophotometry allowed the identification of o- quinomethyl ketene as one of the intermediates of this reaction and suggested a ...
