Recent years have seen huge growth in the area of sustainable chemistry. In order to meet the chemical needs of the global population whilst minimising impacts on health and the environment it is essential to keep reconsidering and improving synthetic processes. Sustainable Organic Synthesis is a comprehensive collection of contributions, provided by specialists in Green Chemistry, covering topics ranging from catalytic approaches to benign and alternative reaction media, and innovative and more efficient technologies.
Reviewing photo-induced processes that have relevance to a wide number of academic and commercial disciplines, this volume reflects the current interests in chemistry, physics, biology and technology. Section one covers organic and computational aspects of photochemistry while Section two highlights topics like photomagnetism in organic dyes, in silico photochemistry and delayed fluorescence in photosynthetic systems. The final section covers the SPR lectures on photochemistry on photoredox catalysis in synthesis, perfluoroalkylation of aliphatic substrates via photoinduced radical processes and photocycloadditions of aromatic compounds with alkenes. The volume continues to provide essential reading for postgraduates, academics and industrialists working in the field of photochemistry, enabling them to keep on top of the literature.
Providing critical reviews of recent advances in photochemistry, including computational and organic aspects, the latest volume in the series reflects the current interests in this area. It includes a series of highlights on photorelease processes (via two-photon excitation and Norrish type II reactions), the design of light-activated tissue bonding, photoresponsive molecular devices targeting nucleic acids, ECL based biosensing techniques, photochemical bond activation at metal centres, photoredox catalysis via aromatic hydrocarbons, photoinduced multicomponent reactions and asymmetric catalysis via triplet-state. This is essential reading for anyone wanting to keep up to date with the literature on photochemistry and its applications.
This volume combines reviews on the latest advances in photochemical research with specific topical highlights in the field. Starting with periodical reports of the recent literature on organic and computational aspects including reports on computational photochemistry and chemiluminescence of biological and nanotechnological molecules, photochemistry of alkenes, dienes and polyenes, aromatic compounds and oxygen-containing functions. The final chapter of this section is a review of industrial application of photochemistry from 2014 to 2019. Coverage continues with highlighted topics, in the second part, from ruthenium-caged bioactive compounds, advances in logically and light induced system...

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 (photo)catalysts.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 photoorganocatalyst (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 adoption of photoorganocatalysis in polymerization and to flow photoorganocatalysis. These in-depth explanations and practical applications make this title an essential reading for any chemistry student interested in organic (sustainable) synthesis.
Providing critical analysis of emerging and well-established topics, this book is essential reading for anyone wanting to keep up to date with the literature on photochemistry and its applications. Volume 49 combines reviews on the latest advances in photochemical research with specific highlights in the field. The first section includes periodical reports of the recent literature on physical and inorganic aspects, including reviews of the molecules employed as dyes in art, light induced reactions in cryogenic matrices, photobiological systems studied by time-resolved infrared spectroscopy and photophysics, and photochemistry of transition metal complexes. This selection is completed by revi...
The 20th century has seen a phenomenal growth in the global economy and continuous improvement in the standard of living in the industrialized countries. Sustainable development has become an ideal target in recent years and in the early 1990s the concept of "Green chemistry" was launched in the USA as a new paradigm, and since 1993 it has been promoted by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The success of the pharmaceutical industry is, in large part, due to the towering achievement of organic chemistry, a mature science which emerged as a distinct discipline well over 150 years ago, however this has been both a blessing and a curse. Many of our most reliable strategies for assembling target molecules employ reactions which are fifty to one hundred years old and are often named in honour of their discoverers.
