Photoorganocatalysis In Organic Synthesis
The use of organocatalysts able to photocatalyze an organic reaction is a rapidly growing field. These photocatalyzed transformations are more environmentally sustainable with respect to the use of expensive/toxic metal-based photocatalysts. Based on the authors extensive experience in photogenerated intermediates, this book presents an overview on photocatalyzed organic processes having a synthetic significance, where an organic molecule functions as the photocatalyst. After a brief introduction defining the nature and the characteristics of a photo-organocatalyst (POC), the chapters are organized according to the class of POC used, as detailed below. Each chapter begins with a summary of the photophysical characteristics of the POCs and is followed by selected examples of synthetic applications. The last two chapters are devoted to the applications of photo-organocatalysis in polymerizations and to flow photo-organocatalysis. These in-depth explanations and practical applications make this title an essential reading for any chemistry student interested in organic (sustainable) synthesis.
