Abstract
A synthesis is reported for 2-dialkylamino-3-methoxy-1,4-naphthoquinones. The photolysis of these compounds in the liquid phase was studied and their halfwave potentials (E1/2) were determined. The introduction of a methoxy group at C3 leads to a shift in the spectral absorption toward longer wavelengths, shift in E1/2 toward positive values, and a slight change in the photolysis quantum yield. The physicochemical parameters were found to be dependent on the nature of the dialkylamino group.
