1,4,5,8-Tetraazaphenanthrene has been synthesized photochemically from dilute benzene solution of 1,2-bispyrazyl ethylene in the presence of oxygen as an oxidant.
The structure of this compound has been elucidated by nmr, IR, UV-VIS, and mass spectrometry as well as elements analysis.
The photocyclization yield of 1,2-bispyrazyl ethylene was about 90%, and quantum yield was $5.1×10^{-2}$.
Salt effect, solvent effect, quenching study, and triplet sensitizer effect on the photocyclization of 1,2-bispyrazyl ethylene and 2-styryl pyrazine have been studied.
It is concluded from these studies that the reactive state of photocyclization is $(N,\pi^{\ast})^1$ state.
