Abstract: A new mechanism of hydride abstraction in the course of a photochemical electrocyclic reaction of heterostilbene in aqueous solution is reported. The study of electrocyclic transformations of heterostilbenes containing different types of heterocyclic residues revealed that the herein estimated mechanism of hydride abstraction is common for heterostilbene photochemical electrocyclization through the formation of new C–N bond.

Keywords: heterostilbenes, E–Z-photoisomerization, electrocyclization, hydride abstraction, regiospecific C–N photocyclization.
