Photogeneration and chemistry of quinone methides from hydroxybenzyl alcohols

The photosolvolysis of a series of hydroxy-substituted benzyl alcohols (ArCH₂OH) has been studied. Photomethanolysis of these alcohols showed exceptionally higher efficiencies for methyl ether formation (in 1:1 H₂O-MeOH) than the corresponding methoxybenzyl alcohols. UV-Vis absorption spectra of pho...
