Abstract
Photodegradation of azilsartan produces a phenanthridine derivative, with its molecular structure determined by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. This structure is confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and alternative synthesis. The phenanthridine ring formation is explained through the ring closure of an imidoylnitrene intermediate produced by decarboxylation of the 5-oxo-1,2,4-oxadiazole ring (oxadiazolone).
