Visible Light-Driven Organic Synthesis

Visible Light-Driven Organic Synthesis covers the recent cutting-edge investigations in the field of visible light-driven organic synthesis in a single comprehensive volume. It provides information on rigorously selected reaction schemes and covers new reactions and new methods under visible light photocatalysis. It enlists about 200 important synthetic strategies/methodologies with particular emphasis on useful reactions for organic synthesis under the mild reaction conditions reported in recent times involving carbon-carbon (C-C) and carbon-heteroatom bond forming reactions resulting in a wide spectrum of chemical compounds, providing an outstanding source of information concerning industrial applications. The chapters are classified based on various photocatalysts that have found direct applications in organic synthesis by carrying out different kinds of organic reactions. Each chapter is dedicated to a particular photocatalyst, and each selected reaction is dealt with in a compact manner through point-wise discussion under distinct sub-headings covering the reaction type, reaction conditions, bond-forming information reaction strategy involved, general reaction scheme, examples of representative entries with chemical structures and physical properties, a suggested plausible mechanism, experimental procedure, spectral and analytical data of one or two representative entries, critical views, and literature.

• Includes about 200 visible light-driven protocols in organic synthesis having unique features
• Provides specific details about experimental conditions, characterization data, and mechanistic aspects
• Increases efficiency in the laboratory by eliminating time-consuming literature searches and acts as a ready practical reference for reproducing any reactions of choice
• Contains critical views in each chapter that highlight merits and demerits of the protocol, compare it with previous/other available methods, and describe the green and sustainability aspects of the technique
