Abstract

Photochemical Fries rearrangement of 1-phenyl-2-pyrrolidone (1) proceeded smoothly in methanol especially in the presence of piperylene. Continuous photo-irradiation of 1 successfully was carried out to raise the yield by utilizing a reaction mixturecirculation system consisting of a spiral quartz cell, a pump, a uv light source and a column packed with appropriate absorbents for the Fries rearranged product (3) and pigments.
