The photoreactions of N-methyl-2-pyridone

In studying the photochemistry of N-methyl-2- pyridone, four products were observed. Besides the previously known dimer and bicyclic monomer, two new dimers were isolated. The quantum yields of product formation were measured, and it was found that only one intermediate was involved. From sensitiza...
