Photochemistry of 2-dialkylamino-1,4-naphthoquinones

The review surveys the results of studies on the photolysis of 1,4- naphthoquinones with 2-dialkylamino- and heterocyclic amino-groups. New data on the structure of the primary photolysis products and the mechanisms of their subsequent dark reactions are presented in relation to the reaction conditions and structure. The bibliography includes 53 references.
