Abstract
A combined computational and experimental study reveals that ortho-, meta- and para-aminobiphenyl isomers undergo distinctly different photochemical reactions involving proton transfer. Deuterium exchange experiments show that the ortho-isomer undergoes a facile photoprotonation at a carbon atom via excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT). The meta-isomer undergoes water-assisted excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) and a photoredox reaction via proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET). The para-isomer undergoes a water-assisted ESPT reaction. All three reactions take place in the singlet excited-state, except for the photoredox process of the meta-isomer, which involves a triplet excited-state. Computations illustrate the important role of excited-state antiaromaticity relief in these photoreactions.

Luo N, Gao Y, Wang M, Niu X, Li G, An T. A new bi-radical species formed during the photochemical degradation of synthetic musk tonalide in water: Study of in-situ laser flash photolysis and validation of synthesized standard sample. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 859:160311. [PMID: 36403842 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.160311] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2022] [Revised: 11/15/2022] [Accepted: 11/15/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
The ubiquitous presence of synthetic musks is causing serious concern due to the species produced from their transformation and environmental impacts. In this study, tonalide was selected as a representative synthetic musk to evaluate the transformation mechanism and pathway in water under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. The results showed that tonalide could undergo rapid photochemical degradation through a new pivotal bi-radical, which acts as the initial active species. The bi-radicals with a typical absorption peak at 340 nm was observed by in-situ laser flash photolysis technology, and the absolute decay rate constant was obtained as 3.61 ± 0.01 × 109 M-1 s-1 with the life-time of 83.3 ns. The photochemical degradation by-products of tonalide were also identified by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and the precise structures of key by-products have been validated by our preparative synthesized standard samples confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance. Thus, the mechanism of tonalide photochemical degradation, continuous photoenolization of the bi-radicals and followed cycloaddition reaction with O2, was proposed as the predominant pathway. The main degradation by-product, photoenol which has a higher bioconcentration than that of tonalide, was found to form from the bi-radicals photoenolization. This study is the first work to propose a new bi-radical as the photoenol precursors during photochemical degradation of tonalide in water.
