Abstract: | The UV light irradiation of isoniazid (I) in methanol four products, isonicotinic acid (II), isonicotinamide (III), N, N′-bis(isonicotinic acid)hydrazide (IV) and isonicotinaldehyde isonicotinyl hydrazone (V), in ethanol three products, (III), (IV) and acetaldehyde isonicotinyl hydrazone (VI) were isolated and identified. Also, the photoreaction mechanism of isoniazid in methanol and ethanol were discussed. |
