Abstract: | The stability of deoxypeganine hydrochloride under the action of light has been established. The kinetics of the oxidation of deoxypeganine hydrochloride in aqueous solution in the presence of deoxyvasicinone hydrochloride have been studied. The structures and electronic conformations of hypothetical models of the salt DOP HCl in the ground and excited states have been considered by the MO LCAO method in the AM1 approximation. The difference in the resistance of the molecules of the base deoxypeganine and its hydrochloride to photochemical oxidation is discussed on the basis of the results of experiments and calculations.Abbreviations HPLC high-performance liquid chromatography - MO LCAO molecular orbitals as linear combinations of atomic orbitals - AM1 Austin Model 1 - DOP HCl deoxypeganine hydrochloride - DOV HCl deoxyvasicinone hydrochlorideInstitute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Tashkent.
