Abstract
3-Hydroxy-2-methyl-4-phenylisoxazol-5(2H)-one, 3-hydroxy-2, 4-diphenyl isoxazol-5(2H)-one and phenyldisic acid have been photolysed at 254 nm in hydroxylic solvents. By comparison of the respective products with those obtained from 3-methoxy-4-phenylisoxazol-5(2H)-one, 5-methoxy-4 -phenylisoxazol-3(2H)-one and y-2,2-dimethyl-3(5)-oxo-4-phenyldihydroi soxazolium hydroxide, it is apparent that the disic acids photolyse in dependently from the 3-hydroxy 5-one, the 5-hydroxy 3-one and the zwit terion tautomers. Novel photochemical pathways for these processes are suggested.
