Abstract: Some photosensitive derivatives were synthesized by introducing the o-nitroaryl chromophore into polymer chain of acetylated hydroxyethylcellulose (НЕС). The products were characterized viscosimetrically and by u.V., i.r. as well as ¹³C-n.m.r. spectroscopy. The phototransformation reactions of the synthesized products were investigated. By the effect of ultraviolet radiation acetylated НЕС is subjected to photodestructive and photooxidative transfor­mations. The presence of the o-nitroaryl chromophore enhances the photosen­sitivity of the cellulose derivative.
