Correlation between photochemical reaction and structural feature of benzyliden derivatives

Abstract

The benzyliden derivatives with tree photo active centers were synthesized and their physicochemical properties are determined by NMR, absorption, fluorescence excitation and emission spectroscopies. The semiempirical calculations carried out according with the theory of the PM3/CI level has shown, that at an irradiating of their solutions by UV-light give no possibilities of the photo-Fries reaction. The calculated values are in a good accordance with the experimental ones.
