PHOTOPROMOTED OXIDATIVE CYCLIZATION OF AN O-PHENYLENE-BRIDGED SCHIFF-BASE VIA A MANGANESE(III) COMPLEX, LEADING TO A FLUORESCENT COMPOUND, 2-(2-HYDROXYPHENYL)BENZIMIDAZOLE
T. Fukuda et al., PHOTOPROMOTED OXIDATIVE CYCLIZATION OF AN O-PHENYLENE-BRIDGED SCHIFF-BASE VIA A MANGANESE(III) COMPLEX, LEADING TO A FLUORESCENT COMPOUND, 2-(2-HYDROXYPHENYL)BENZIMIDAZOLE, Chemical communications, (13), 1998, pp. 1391-1392
Visible light photolysis of ylenebis(salicylideneaminato)]diaquamangan
ese(III) resulted in the fluorescent compound 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzi
midazole by a one electron redox reaction between Mn-III and the Schif
f base ligand, followed by the base-hydrolysis of the oxidized Schiff
base, and then the cyclization of the base-hydrolyzed product.
