Abstract
Photoinduced hydride reduction of 10-methylacridinium ion (AcrH(+)) by alkylbenzene occurs to yield 10-methyl-9,10-dihydroacridine in the pr esence 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 proce eds via protonation of acridinyl radical produced by photoinduced elec tron transfer from alkylbenzene.
