The photoreduction of 2-tert-butyl-p-benzoquinone and 2,5- and 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-benzoquinone were studied by esr spectroscopy. In the photolysis of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-benzoquinone, only one semiquinone radical was observed and its decay kinetics were monitored by esr. The reduction of the triplet 2-tert-butyl-p-benzoqinone leads to the formation of isomeric semiquinone radicals 1 and 2 in the primary photochemical processes, and this is then followed by a chemical equilibrium between the two isomeric radicals. The relative rates of formation of the two radicals cannot be monitored by conventional esr methods but the CIDEP results show that the formation of radical 2 is about five to seven times faster than that of radical 1. A secondary reaction of the phenoxy radical with a product benzohydrofuran 4 leads to the observation of a polarized radical 3 which derives all its polarization from the primary phenoxy radical.
