One compound was identified as 2-(benzylamino)-3,6-dichloro-5-(dibenzylamino)-p-benzoquinone, which was found to undergo further debenzylation to form the two known debenzylated analogues. The other compound was identified as the hydroquinone form of the starting material. This photoreaction was examined in detail using various analytical techniques under different experimental conditions, and a plausible reaction pathway was proposed on the basis of the experimental results. In addition, the reaction was found to occur also under sunlight irradiation.}, pages = {110--118}, title = {Photoinduced debenzylation of 2,5-bis(dibenzylamino)-3,6-dichloro-p-benzoquinone}, volume = {144}, year = {2017} }
