Photocatalytic Synthesis Of Heterocyclic Compounds

Photocatalytic routes to heterocycles with detailed mechanistic and sustainability coveragePhotocatalytic Synthesis of Heterocyclic Compounds connects traditional and photocatalytic approaches to heterocycle formation, addressing the demand for greener synthetic methodologies in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials science.This book covers photophysical and photochemical fundamentals underlying photoredox catalysis, it then examines radical and ionic pathways using both metal-based and metal-free catalysts. Synthetic coverage spans five-membered, six-membered, and fused heterocyclic systems. Methodologies emphasizing atom economy, reduced energy consumption, and minimal environmental impact are presented alongside discussion of current challenges and future directions in the field.Key topics include:Mechanistic analysis of photoredox catalytic cycles relevant to nitrogen-, oxygen-, and sulfur-containing heterocycle formation under visible light conditionsComparative...
