Notes:
2,2′-Furil (di-2-furyl diketone) undergoes photoreduction to give furoin on irradiation at 366 nm in triethylamine-containing benzene and ethers. On the other hand, in ethanol the photoirradiation leads to the formation of an enediol type of compound, 1,2-di(2-furan)ethene-1,2-diol. The results of quenching and sensitization both for the photoreactions and the phosphorescence demonstrate that furoin and the enediol are formed via the lowest excited singlet and the triplet states of 2,2′-furil, respectively.
