Popis: Kinetic studies of the singlet oxygenation of the title compounds were performed according to Monroe's method. The reaction rate increases with temperature decreasing, leading to a negative activation enthalpy and a large negative activation entropy. These data are interpreted as the evidence for the intermediacy of an exciplex. The solvent effect on the reaction rate suggests that the “dioxetane” path involves a transition state or an intermediate with significant zwitterionic character. The electronic effect of the substituent is obvious, with electron-withdrawing substituent retarding the reaction and electron-donating substituent increasing the reaction rate. However, steric bulkiness at the 6-position does not play an important role in the reaction rate.
