Notes:
-The photochemistry of 4-methyl-9,10-diazoanthrone (7a) and 1,4-dimethyl-9,10-diazoanthrone (7b) was investigated in argon matrices at 10 K. Visible-light irradiation results in the formation of the anthronylidenes 5a and b, respectively, which were identified by oxygen trapping, by comparison of the IR and UV/Vis spectra with that of the parent anthronylidene 6, and by comparison of the IR spectrum with that calculated by DFT methods. The carbenes 5 are thermally stable under the conditions of matrix isolation; however, irradiation with visible or UV light results in the rearrangement to the quinone methides 10a and b.
