The primary and subsequent photochemistry of four N-hydroxypyridine-2-thione esters has been investigated by laser flash photolysis (λexc = 355 nm). A simple, high-yield synthetic method is given for their preparation with high purity. UV irradiation of these ester compounds was shown to lead specifically to the formation of benzyl, diphenylmethyl, tert-butyl, and benzoyloxyl radicals in addition to the 2-pyridylthiyl radical. In all cases, the initial photoinduced nitrogen-oxygen bond cleavage was found to occur in high quantum yield (ΦN-O ≈ 0.5). The radical species generated by this process (2-pyridylthiyl radical and carbon-centered or oxygen-centered radicals) were characterized and their reactivity toward several radical scavengers has been studied. An efficient delayed depletion of the N-hydroxypyridine-2-thione esters was also observed, leading to overall bleaching quantum yields, ΦBl, close to unity. We have demonstrated that the delayed consumption of ground-state ester was due to the reaction of the 2-pyridylthiyl radical with its precursor, occurring with a rate constant, kr, of 3-4 × 109 M-1 s-1. This reaction, hitherto never proposed, leads to the formation of 2,2′-dipyridyl disulfide and further release of propagating radicals.

Esters (mixed anhydrides) derived from aliphatic or alicyclic carboxylic acids (RCO2H) and thiohydroxamic acids 2 or 3 undergo a thermally or photochemically induced radical chain reaction to give sulphides 4 with loss of carbon dioxide.On irradiation at low temperature however, the chain reaction is essentially suppressed.Under these conditions moderate to good yields of dimers R-R are obtained from primary acids.The mechanistic and synthetic implications of these observations are discussed.
