This document summarizes the Photo-Fries rearrangement reaction and its mechanisms. The Photo-Fries rearrangement involves the intramolecular rearrangement of phenolic esters to hydroxy aryl ketones upon exposure to UV light without a catalyst. The reaction proceeds via the dissociation of the substrate into phenoxy and acyl radicals, which then recombine within the solvent cage to form intermediates that aromatize to produce the product. Photo-Fries rearrangements of anilides follow the same mechanism, with the only difference being the replacement of the bridging oxygen with nitrogen.

PHOTO-FRIES REARRANGMENT
Conversion ofphenolic ester in to hydroxy aryl
ketones in presence of UV-light without catalyst
called Photo-Fries Rearrangment.
Photo-Fries rearrangment is an intramolecular
rearrangment.
Where acyl and alkyl groups migrate to ortho and
para position on irradiation.
5.
In thisrearrangment the substrate dissociate into
phenoxy and acyl radicals.
which combine with in the solvent cage to give
intermediates on aromatisation of the product.
MECHANISM:-
7.
NOTE:- *Photo-Fries rearrangmentis carried out in
gaseous phase only phenol is obtained.it confirms
that the formation of solvent cage.
*It has been seen that when the tempreture of the
reaction will be high the ortho product formed and
when the tempreture of the reaction is low the para
product formed.
PHOTO-FRIES REACTIONS OFANILIDES
Photo-Fries rearrangment of anilides obey the
same mechanism as Photo-Fries rearrangment of
phenyl esters.
The only difference is the replacement of bridging
oxygen by nitrogen.
