TY - JOUR AU - Volbushko, N. AB - Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds, Vol. 41, No. 7, 2005 PHOTOCONVERSIONS OF 1-ACETYL- 2,2,4-TRIMETHYL-[2H]-DIHYDROQUINOLINE B. S. Lukyanov, M. B. Lukyanova, and N. V. Volbushko Keywords: dihydroquinoline, photoreaction product, photochromism. The photochromic properties of [2H]-dihydroquinolines, observed earlier at -196°C [1], have not yet been studied in detail. We have observed that when a solution of 1-acetyl-2,2,4-trimethyl-[2H]-dihydroquinoline (1) [2] in dioxane is exposed to light with λ 313 nm at room temperature, its photocoloration occurs with max formation of a stable photoinduced form. To monitor the course of the process, we withdrew test samples from the solution and recorded their absorption spectra (Specord M-40). Irradiation was stopped within 12 h, after the optical density of the absorption band for the photoinduced form (λ 420 nm) stopped increasing and the max absorption band at λ 310 nm of the starting compound 1 disappeared. The photoreaction product was max successfully separated chromatographically into 2 fractions, which were identified by IR and H NMR spectroscopy. The H NMR spectrum was taken on a Varian Unity-300 (300 MHz), internal standard TMS. The first fraction, a colored (λ 420 nm) solid (mp 146-147°C), was identified as the open form max 1-acetyl-2,2,4-trimethyl-[2H]-dihydroquinoline (N-acetylacetone anil) 3.
