We report the acid-assisted photolysis of the trimethyl lock system which has long been harnessed for a variety of applications such as drug delivery, cellular imaging, enzyme activity assays, and surface patterning. By mass spectrometric analysis, we found that photoinduced intramolecular cyclizati...
