The spectral course of irreversible photoreduction of the flavin nucleus by arylacetates and related compounds has been investigated in detail. The resulting benzylated dihydroflavins and their reoxidation products have been characterized spectrophotometrically, among them 5‐benzyl‐flavosemiquinone radical and 5‐benzylflavoquinonium cation. Reversible and irreversible flavin redution corresponding to hydride‐ or group‐transfer from substrate to flavin are discussed with respect to their scope and limitations and possible biological implications in the action mechanism of flavin dependent dehydrogenases.
