Photochemical α-Cleavage Reaction of 3’,5’-Dimethoxybenzoin: A Combined Time-Resolved Spectroscopy and Computational Chemistry Study

Photochemical α-Cleavage Reaction of 3’,5’-Dimethoxybenzoin: A Combined Time-Resolved Spectroscopy and Computational Chemistry Study

Benzoin is one of the most commonly used photoinitiators to induce free radical polymerization. Here, improved benzoin properties could be accomplished by the introduction of two methoxy substituents, leading to the formation of 3’,5’-dimethoxybenzoin (DMB) which has a higher photo-cleavage quantum...
