No significant stereoelectronic effects of isopropyl group in photoaddition of alkylbenzene derivatives with 10-methylacridinium ion via photoinduced electron transfer

Abstract

The isopropyl group has no significant Stereoelectronic effect on inter- and intra-molecular competition in deprotonation from alkylbenzene radical cations in the photoaddition of alkylbenzene derivatives with 10-methylacridinium ion viaphotoinduced electron transfer from alkylbenzene derivatives to the singlet excited state of 10-methylacridinium ion, followed by the deprotonation of alkylbenzene radical cations.
