Emnebeskrivelse
Kursinnhold
After an overview of basic photophysical concepts and a survey of equipment used to perform photochemistry, the focus will be on light-induced chemical reactions that are quite general and have proved to be synthetically useful. Most attention will be paid to the reactivity of alkenes, carbonyl compounds, aromatics, halides and nitrites, oxidation, reduction and substitution reactions, and transformations involving pericyclic reactions, chlorine, and singlet oxygen. The final topic will be photolabile protecting groups.
