Products Reactants Reagents Procedure CAS RN: 2406288-30-8 2,9-Bis[2,6-bis(1-methylethyl)phenyl]anthra[2,1,9-def:6,5,10-d'e'f']diisoquinoline1,3,8,10(2H,9H)-tetrone, CAS RN: 82953-57-9 Ethanol, CAS RN: 64-17-5 Oxygen, CAS RN: 7782-44-7 1. Use a homebuilt lighting device with 12 blue LEDs (450 nm) for irradiation and drive at 48 V and 0.9A yielding a light intensity of ca 4 W/cm2 at a distance of 12 mm. 2. Irradiate 6 ml samples with a concentration of about 0.2 mmol L-1 for 4 h in a glass tube with diameter 25 mm and provide with a magnetic stirrer. 3. Perform the anaerobic experiments with tubes that underwent three freeze thaw cycles before irradiation. 4. Thermostat the tubes in a water bath at 70 °C to avoid uncontrol heating by the LED device. 5. Take the distance from the vessel wall to the lamp is 12 mm. 1H NMR 13C NMR UV/Vis CAS Method Number (300 MHz, δ in ppm, J in Hz): = 9.79 (d, J=8.3, 1H), 8.81 (d, J=8.0, 1H), 8.80 (d, J=8.3 1H), 8.79 (d, J=8.1, 1H), 8.75 (d, J=8.2, 1H), 8.71 (d, J=7.9, 1H), 8.59 (s, 1H), 7.53 (t, J=7.5, 1H), 7.52 (t, J=7.5, 1H), 7.38 (d, J=7.5, 2H), 7.37 (d, J=7.5, 2H), 4.68 (q, J=6.9, 2H), 2.77 (m, J=7.1, 2H), 2.76 (m, J=7.0, 2H), 1.77 (t, J=6.9, 3H), 1.20 (d, J=7.0, 24H).
