The ionochromic sensitivity of compounds 7a,b and 8a,b to anions was investigated in acetonitrile upon addition of tetra

• decrease to normal values of 1800–2000 cm−1, indicating a complete inhibition of the ESIPT process. These spectral transformations are usually caused by the formation of a strong N–H(O–H)···CN− (F−) hydrogen bond up to deprotonation [28]. Using the principle of “relay recognition” [29], we investigated the

• pyranone ring leading to the formation of α-hydroxy-1,2-diketones. This phototransformation is initiated by an excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process. In most cases the resulting α-hydroxy-1,2-diketones are unstable and their further reactions open access to various original products

• as a result of ESIPT-induced reactions (Scheme 1A and B). At the same time, both directions of phototransformation are realized for terarylenes with furan, pyrrole, and oxazolone-bridge fragments (Scheme 1C). However, the suppression of the ESIPT process in such systems makes it possible to perform

Finally, AcOH was used as a solvent for the photochemical synthesis of α-hydroxy-1,2-diketone 14a. The starting
