Photochemically-generated intermediates in synthesis / Angelo Albini, Maurizio Fagnoni, PhotoGreen Lab, Department of Chemistry, University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy. [electronic resource] Albini, Angelo. Fagnoni, Maurizio. Carbocations. Carbanions. Intermediates (Chemistry) Photochemistry. QD305.C3 547/.1372 23 Includes bibliographical references and index. Description based on print version record and CIP data provided by publisher. This book fills a gap between physical organic photochemistry and photochemistry applied to organic synthesis. It focuses on photoreactions involving an intermediate that has been (or at least may be) generated and where mechanistic aspects control the course of a reaction and its synthetic value. The first chapter presents general aspects, and each of the following chapters contains a short introduction with the key kinetic data for typical intermediates and reference to mechanistic work. The sections of each chapter then consider the various aspects of the topics: radicals, cations, carbenes, and nitrenes. 2013 Text 1 online resource. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/book/10.1002/9781118689202 eng Photochemically-generated intermediates in synthesis Photochemically-generated intermediates in synthesis
