碩士 === 中原大學 === 化學系 === 87 === The purpose of this study is to investigate the reaction pathway of a novel photochemical phosphorylation reaction involving a substituted benzoquinone，ADP and inorganic phosphate in a non-aqueous medium．Such as DMAC(N,N-Dimethylacetamide)．The system is irradiated under the aerobic conditions under the sunlight．ATP is produced．By comparing the photochemical behavior of two substituted benzoquinones(Duroquinone，2,6-di-tert-butyl-1,4-benzoquinone) and by using various quenchers such as Hydroquinone，β－Carotene，H2O and D2O，the author conclude that (n－π*) excited state of the quinone and singlet oxygen are the precursors of the photophosphorylation reaction．
