Resumo

The mechanism of the photoinitiated oxidation of N-methyl-substituted 1,4-dihydropyridines (1,4-DHPs) by quinones was studied in acetonitrile. Electron transfer with the formation of a radical ion pair (radical cation of 1,4-DHP and radical anion of acceptor) forms the initial stage of the process. Abstraction of a hydrogen atom from the 1,4-DHP radical cation in the bulk leads to the formation of the main product of photo-oxidation — pyridinium cation. Traces of water in the reaction mixture and the pH exert a significant influence on the photo-oxidation of N-substituted 1,4-DHPs.
