11H-Dibenzo[c,f]-[1,2]-diazepine is converted into a mixture of dibenzo[c,f]-[1,2]-diazepin-11-one, 2,2?-diaminobenzophenone, and 2,2?- diaminodiphenylmethane when irradiated in weakly acidic ethanol. Irradiation of the same compound in concentrated sulphuric acid appears to give only a sulphonic acid derivative of diaminobenzophenone. No photochemical reaction occurs in neutral ethanol or in benzene.

An investigation has been made of the photochemical and dark reactions of azobenzene in acetic acid-ferric chloride and acetic acid-aluminium chloride mixtures for comparison with the corresponding reactions of azobenzene in sulphuric acid. The photochemical reactions resulted in cyclodehydrogenation of azobenzene to benzo[c]cinnoline, and small quantities of reduction products of azobenzene were also isolated. The formation of reduction products was again observed in the dark reactions, but there was no sign of cyclodehydrogenation. The significance of these observations is now discussed. Irradiation of azobenzene in acetyl chloride, or in acetic anhydride containing hydrogen chloride, resulted in a novel photochemical reaction in which NN?-diacetyl-4-chlorohydrazobenzene was formed in high yield.

First Time

The photochemical reactions of 4,4?-bis(phenylazo)biphenyl and 4- phenyl-azoazobenzene in 98% sulphuric acid have been examined, for comparison with the corresponding reactions in 22N acid. Photochemical cyclodehydrogenation of 4-phenylazoazobenzene to two benzo[c]cinnoline derivatives has thereby been effected for the first time. The observed course of the latter reaction has led, in turn, to studies of the benzidine rearrangement of 2-(2-phenylhydrazino)benzo[c]- cinnoline, of the photochemical cyclodehydrogenation of 3-phenylazobenzene, and of the photochemical reaction of 2-phenylazobenzo[c]cinnoline. The results of these investigations are now recorded and discussed.

2,4,6-Trimethylazobenzene has been shown to undergo photochemical cyclodehydrogenation in sulphuric acid to give 2,4-dimethylbenzo[c]cinnoline and 1,2,4-trimethylbenzo[c]cinnoline. The formation of the former involves cyclization with the loss of a methyl substituent : the formation of the latter involves cyclization with the migration of a methyl substituent. The reaction involves a photochemical disproportionation: 4-(4-aminophenyl)-2,4,6-trimethylcyclohexa-2,5-dienone was also isolated, having been formed by acid-catalysed rearrangement (and hydrolysis) from 2,4,6-trimethylhydrazobenzene. Substituted azobenzenes having a carboxy, iodo, or chloro substituent in the 4-, 3-, or 2-position have also been irradiated and the resulting benzo[c]cinnolines and benzidines isolated and characterized. Irradiation of 2-substituted azobenzenes has been found to give the parent benzo[c]cinnoline as well as the 4-substituted benzo[c]-cinnoline, showing that carboxy-, iodo-, and chloro-substituents can be ejected as well as methyl substituents. The irradiation of azobenzene-3-carboxylic acid has given 1-hydroxybenzo[c]cinnoline-10-carboxylic acid lactone in addition to benzo[c]-cinnoline-3-carboxylic acid.

Substituted benzo[c]cinnolines have been prepared from substituted azobenzenes by photochemical cyclodehydrogenation in 22N sulphuric acid. The reaction seems to involve a photochemical disproportionation as rearrangement products of the corresponding hydrazobenzenes were also formed. 4-Methylazobenzene gave 2-methylbenzo[c]cinnoline. 3-Methylazobenzene gave a mixture of 1- and 3-methylbenzo[c]cinnolines: and 2-methylazobenzene gave 4-methylbenzo[c]cinnoline and benzo[c]cinnoline. The latter result is noteworthy as it indicates that cyclization can proceed with elimination of a methyl substituent. Similar elimination was observed with 2,2'-dimethylazobenzene, which gave 4-methyl-benzo[c]cinnoline as well as the expected 4,7-dimethylbenzo[c]cinnoline. Photochemical cyclodehydrogenations of 4,4'-dimethylazobenzene and of 3,3'-dimethyl-azobenzene have also been studied.

4-Benzdaminoazobenzene and 4,4'-bisbenzalaminoazobenzene have been shown to undergo photochemical cyclodehydrogenation in concentrated (98%) sulphuric acid to give 2-aminobenzo[c]cinnoline and 2,9-diaminobenzo[c]cinnoline respectively in excellent yields; but 4-aminoazobenzene and 4,4'-diaminoazobenzene were not cyclized. 3-Arninoazobenzene and 3-benzalaminoazobenzene both gave 3-aminobenzo[c]cinnoline. 3-Nitro- and 3-acetyl-azobenzenes gave 3-nitro- and 3-acetyl-benzo[c]cinnolines; and 4-nitro- and 4-acetyl-azobenzenes gave 2-nitro- and 2-acetyl-benzo[c]cinnolines.

Reduction And Oxidation

1,1'-, 1,2'-, 2,2'-Azonaphthalenes, and 2-phenylazonaphthalene are not cyclized photochemically under conditions in which azobenzene is converted into benzo[c]cinnoline and benzidine; but 1-phenylazonaphthalene has been shown to give naphtho[1,2-c]cinnoline, and 4-phenylazobenzene gave 2-phenylbenzo[c]cinnoline. Although 4-styrylazobenzene showed some evidence of cyclization, the reaction was extremely slow and was accompanied by considerable decomposition. 4-Phenylezoazobenzene was cleaved by sulphuric acid, and no cyclized product was obtained. Irradiation of 4,4'-bis(phenylazo)biphenyl gave two cleavage products, and two benzo[c]cinnoline derivatives. Simultaneous reduction and oxidation apparently occurred within the same molecule.

2-Dimethylaminobenzo[c]cinnoline is formed when 4-dimethylaminoazo benzene N-oxide is irradiated in 22N sulphuric acid. The same product arises in good yield when 2-chlorobenzo[c]cinnoline is heated with dimethylamine in a sealed tube at 160-170�. A compound formerly described in the literature as 2-dimethyl-aminobenzo[c]cinnoline has now been shown to be 4,4?-bis(4-dimethylaminophenylazo)biphenyl.

Novel Approach

: In recent years, photocatalytic technology has shown great potential as a low-cost, environmentally friendly, and sustainable technology. Compared to other light sources in photochemical reaction, LEDs have advantages in terms of efficiency, power, compatibility, and environmentally-friendly nature. This review highlights the most recent advances in LED-induced photochemical reactions. The effect of white and blue LEDs in reactions such as oxidation, reduction, cycloaddition, isomerization, and sensitization is discussed in detail. No other reviews have been published on the importance of white and blue LED sources in the photocatalysis of organic compounds. Considering all the facts, this review is highly significant and timely.
