Singlet oxygen was generated by means of rose bengal under irradiation by visible light. N-1-acetyl-5-methoxykynuramine (AMK) was rapidly destroyed by this reactive oxygen species, whereas its formylated precursor, N-1-acetyl-N-2-formyl-5-methoxykynuramine (AFMK), was remarkably inert. At photon fluence rates of 1400 mu mol photons/m(2)s, and using 20 mu m rose bengal, most of initially 0.2 mm AMK was destroyed within 2 min, whereas AFMK remained practically unchanged for much longer periods of time. Competition experiments with other scavengers revealed the following order of reactivity towards singlet oxygen: diazabicyclo-[2,2,2]-octane (DABCO)
