The primary mechanisms were firstly the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (i.e. phototautomerization), which generated the imidic acid phototautomer observed as [M-H]<jats:sup>\u2212<\/jats:sup> quasimolecular ion at m\/z 314.0070 in the high-performance liquid chromatography\u2013electrospray ionization\u2013time-of-flight mass spectrometry in the negative mode. Secondly, the photoinduced \u03b1-cleavage with the loss of a carbonyl group occurred (i.e. photodecarbonylation) to form the photoproduct at m\/z 286.0395. The ultraviolet\u2013visible spectra illustrated a large, hyperchromic, and slight bathochromic effect in both the \u03c0\u2192\u03c0* and n\u2192\u03c0* electronic transitions. The largest bathochromic effect was prevalent in the chloroform solvent, i.e. chloroform (\u03c0*\u2009=\u20090.58; \u03b2\u2009=\u20090.00; \u03b1\u2009=\u20090.44)\u2009&gt;\u2009methanol (\u03c0*\u2009=\u20090.60; \u03b2\u2009=\u20090.66; \u03b1\u2009=\u20090.98)\u2009&gt;\u2009acetonitrile (\u03c0*\u2009=\u20090.75; \u03b2\u2009=\u20090.40; \u03b1\u2009=\u20090.19). This is due to the significant interaction of the amino group with the excited carbonyl moiety which is attributed to intramolecular phototautomerization resulting in a larger energy shift of the electronic state. A plausible explanation is due to the hydrogen bond donor ability of the polar methanol and nonpolar chloroform solvents, which stabilized the polarized imidic acid phototautomer by means of hydrogen bonding interactions, as opposed to the aprotic acetonitrile which exhibits no hydrogen bonding interactions. The study would form the basis for further photolytic analyses and syntheses to generate a plethora of novel photoproducts with anti-HIV activity based on the biologically active benzoxazinone framework of efavirenz. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/2040206617730170","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,12]],"date-time":"2017-09-12T04:46:45Z","timestamp":1505191605000},"page":"94-104","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Investigation of the solvent-dependent photolysis of a nonnucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor, antiviral agent efavirenz"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Maryam A","family":"Jordaan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Mangosuthu University of Technology, Durban, South Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Shapi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Mangosuthu University of Technology, Durban, South Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-2040206617730170","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/COH.0000000000000025"},{"key":"bibr2-2040206617730170","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3851\/IMP2897"},{"key":"bibr3-2040206617730170","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1201\/9781420023596"},{"key":"bibr4-2040206617730170","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1021\/jp013915o"},{"key":"bibr5-2040206617730170","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.saa.2015.12.008"},{"key":"bibr6-2040206617730170","first-page":"1","volume-title":"Tautomerism: methods and theories","author":"Taylor PJ","year":"2014","edition":"1"},{"key":"bibr7-2040206617730170","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1201\/9781420023596.ch4"},{"key":"bibr8-2040206617730170","first-page":"486","volume":"26","author":"Petrovic M","year":"2007","journal-title":"TrAC"},{"key":"bibr9-2040206617730170","first-page":"213","volume-title":"Advances in mass spectrometry","volume":"13","author":"Guilhaus M","year":"1995"},{"key":"bibr10-2040206617730170","first-page":"1889","volume":"3","author":"Kakde RB","year":"2011","journal-title":"Int J Pharm Tech Res"},{"key":"bibr11-2040206617730170","first-page":"155","volume":"8","author":"Hamrapurkar PD","year":"2010","journal-title":"Int J Eng Appl Sci Technol"},{"key":"bibr12-2040206617730170","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0731-7085(01)00709-9"},{"key":"bibr13-2040206617730170","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms12128895"},{"key":"bibr14-2040206617730170","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1201\/9781420030563"},{"key":"bibr15-2040206617730170","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0065-2725(00)76003-X"},{"key":"bibr16-2040206617730170","first-page":"1093","volume":"4","author":"Sobolewski AL","year":"2002","journal-title":"Phys Chem"},{"key":"bibr17-2040206617730170","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1351\/pac197541040433"},{"key":"bibr18-2040206617730170","first-page":"426","volume":"6","author":"Saira M","year":"2014","journal-title":"Int J Pharm Pharm Sci"},{"key":"bibr19-2040206617730170","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1044-0305(00)00183-5"},{"key":"bibr20-2040206617730170","unstructured":"Turro NJ.
