Clean and Easy Photochemistry

Abstract: In this paper we try to convince you that the usual prejudices against photochemistry are not always well founded, supported by examples from the literature and from our own work. In fact, photochemistry can be a very powerful tool, for example in some elegant total syntheses which use key photochemical steps. Furthermore, the exploitation of chromatic orthogonality which allows wavelength-selective reactions, and recent strategies opening the possibility of enantioselective catalysis in photochemical reactio… Show more

“…Dadurch werden ungewöhnliche Molekülgerüste zugänglich, deren ¾hnlichkeit mit den Substraten klein ist und deren Bildung Staunen hervorruft. [5] Als kleines Beispiel sei die Synthese des racemischen [6] (AE )-Cedrens (2) aus der Vorstufe 1 erwähnt (Schema 1). [7] Durch einen photochemischen Schlüsselschritt gelang in vier Schritten bei gleich bleibender Anzahl der Kohlenstoffatome der Aufbau eines vollkommen andersartigen Molekülskeletts.…”

“…Photochemical reactions considerably enlarge the spectrum of reactions which can be carried out within a compound family [1][2][3][4]. This behavior is due to the change of electronic configuration upon electronic excitation by light absorption [5,6].…”

“…Photochemical reactions use photons as sustainable reagents for the construction of complex structures that cannot be obtained easily by thermal reactions [1][2][3][4]. Of these, [2+2] photocycloadditions are especially important for the generation of highly strained cyclobutanes [5,6].…”
