Abstract

Photosubstitution of the nitro group vs the methoxy group of triplet 4-nitroanisole by hydroxide ion in water leads to product yields of about 80% 4-methoxyphenol and 20% 4- nitrophenol. The ratio depends slightly on temperature from 3 to 73° C. The slight temperature variation in the yield ratio is reproduced almost perfectly with a simple Arrhenius model for a mechanism involving bonding of hydroxide ion with the triplet state ...
