P. Sekher et al., PHOTOLYTIC STUDIES OF 1-(3'-QUINOLYL)PROPYNAL TOSYLHYDRAZONE SODIUM-SALT, Indian journal of chemistry. Sect. B: organic chemistry, including medical chemistry, 34(7), 1995, pp. 581-586
Detailed photodecomposition of 1-(3'-quinolyl)propynal tosylhydrazone
sodium salt in methanol and acetonitrile-two polar solvents is describ
ed. Time evolution of photolytic absorption spectra and GC-MS study of
the photolytic products have been carried out to identify the interme
diate diazo compound, and the environmental effects on the product dis
tribution from the carbene generated.
