Overview
Examines the latest applications of photochemistry togenerate important intermediates Presenting the latest breakthroughs in the field of organicphotochemistry, this book offers tested and proven photochemicalapproaches to synthesis, creating promising new possibilities andapplications for photochemical reactions. It focuses onphotoreactions involving an intermediate where mechanistic aspectscontrol the course of the reaction and its synthetic value. Readerswill discover new insights into the mechanisms and nature ofphoto-produced reactive intermediates for organic synthesis as wellas the methods to generate them. Moreover, by focusing on highlyefficient techniques for producing such species, the authors enableresearchers to design and perform photoreactions within theframework of green, sustainable chemistry. Photochemically-Generated Intermediates in Synthesisbegins with a discussion of the principles and practice ofphoto-generated intermediates. Next, the book explores: Photogeneration of carbon-centered radicals Photogeneration of heteroatom-centered radicals Photogeneration of biradicals and radical pairs Photochemical generation of radical ions Photogeneration of carbocations and carbanions Photogeneration of carbenes and nitrenes The book's final chapter is dedicated to the photochemicalmanipulation of intermediates. Each chapter includes key kineticdata for typical intermediates as well as detailed case examples, giving readers all the tools needed to perform their ownphotochemical reactions. Comparisons to non-photochemical methodsare offered whenever possible. Photochemically-Generated Intermediates in Synthesis setsthe stage for greater collaboration among photochemists andsynthetic organic chemists, enabling these two research communitiesto fully leverage photochemistry in order to generate keyintermediates needed for a broad range of synthetic reactions inorganic chemistry.
