Abstract
The external magnetic field effect on the photochemical reaction of isoquinoline N-oxide was studied in methanol, 2-propanol or tert-butyl alcohol. Consequently, the yield of lactam was found to show a minimum at higher fields with a decrease in the pKa value of alcohol used as a solvent, supporting the previously proposed mechanism of the photochemical magnetic field effect.
