Comparative study of the photochemistry of the azidopyridine 1-oxides.
The photochemistry of azidopyridine 1-oxides was studied using an array of glass and matrix isolation techniques. As with room temperature, the photochemistry of 4-azidopyridine 1-oxide is dominated by triplet nitrene chemistry. However, in the case of the 3-azide, matrix photolysis indicates the formation of diazabicyclo[4.1.0]hepta-2,4,6-triene N-oxide and diazacycloheptatetraene N-oxide intermediates as well as triplet nitrene.
