Abstract
The photoreactions of 3-methoxycarbonyl-N-methylpyridinium perchlorate (1a) and 3-carbamoyl-N-methylpyridinium perchlorate (1b) under N2 give the products methylated at the 6- and 4-positions in methanol. Under O2, the photoreaction of 1a is drastically changed to give a product methoxylated at the 2-position and hydroxylated at the 5-position simultaneously. This compound is unstable and changes to 5-hydroxy-3-methoxycarbonyl-N-methyl-2-pyridone (5a). Only one atom of O2 is incorporated in 5a. The photoreaction of 1b is completely inhibited by O2.
