Photochemistry and Photophysics of Cholesta-5,7,9(11)-trien-3β-ol in Ethanol
Cholesta-5,7,9(11)-trien-3β-ol (9,11-dehydroprovitamin D<sub>3</sub>, CTL) is used as a fluorescent probe to track the presence and migration of cholesterol in vivo. We recently described the photochemistry and photophysics of CTL in degassed and air-saturated tetrahydrofuran (THF) solut...

description | Cholesta-5,7,9(11)-trien-3β-ol (9,11-dehydroprovitamin D<sub>3</sub>, CTL) is used as a fluorescent probe to track the presence and migration of cholesterol in vivo. We recently described the photochemistry and photophysics of CTL in degassed and air-saturated tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution, an aprotic solvent. The zwitterionic nature of the singlet excited state, <sup>1</sup>CTL* is revealed in ethanol, a protic solvent. In ethanol, the products observed in THF are accompanied by ether photoadducts and by photoreduction of the triene moiety to four dienes, including provitamin D<sub>3</sub>. The major diene retains the conjugated <i>s</i>-<i>trans</i>-diene chromophore and the minor is unconjugated, involving 1,4-addition of H at the 7 and 11 positions. In the presence of air, peroxide formation is a major reaction channel as in THF. X-ray crystallography confirmed the identification of two of the new diene products as well as of a peroxide rearrangement product. |
