The photochemistry of phthalimide derivatives of the electron-rich amino acids tyrosine, histidine and tryptophan 8–10 was studied with respect to photoinduced electron-transfer (PET) induced decarboxylation and Norrish II bond cleavage. Whereas exclusive photodecarboxylation of the tyrosine substrate 8 was observed, the histidine compound 9 resulted in a mixture of histamine and preferential Norrish cleavage. The tryptophan derivative 10 is photochemically inert and shows preferential decarboxylation only when induced by intermolecular PET.

We have shown that radical cations generated by photoinduced electron transfer (ET) in 1,2-diarylethanes, aryl pinacols, and their derivatives undergo fragmentation reactions. In the presence of oxygen oxidative products are obtained. Time-resolved laser flash photolysis and other ancillary techniques have permitted us to define the mechanisms of certain oxidative processes observed.
