Abstract: The destruction of intramolecular hydrogen bond, hemiacetal formation and their kinetics for fluoro-containing β-diketone compounds in protonic solution have been studied by absorption and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The processes of photo-irradiation which induces the hemiacetal going back to the original intramolecular hydrogen bond structure and the hemiacetal formation for the system after irradiation in the dark have also been investigated. Although the reason of hemiacetal destruction by irradiation is not clear yet, this kind of β-diketone with -CF3 group which will return to intramolecular hydrogen bond under irradiation can be used as photostabilizer in the protonic solvents. The photostability of these compounds has been confirmed in this work.
