Abstract

Photochemical dehydro-dimerization describes the following change:

$$2RH\underrightarrow{{hv}}R - R + 2H $$

This conversion takes place in the presence of oxygen, carbonyl compounds (ketones, quiñones) or dyes, which act as hydrogen acceptors. Dyes are converted to leuco compounds and quiñones give hydroquinones.
