Abstract

Photo-oxygenation of adenosine has been carried out by singlet molecular oxygen in presence of methylene blue sensitizer. The effect of different media (neutral, acidic and alkaline) has been studied on the product yield and time of the reaction. The products have been identified by different spectral analysis. Backstrom type II mechanism has been proposed for these reactions.
