Organische Photochemie, Klausur

What it is about

You will learn about photochemical reactions that proceed through direct excitation, triplet sensitization, or single-electron transfer (photoredox catalysis). The focus is on transformations that are not accessible by thermal methods; typical substrates are alkenes, enones, carbonyl compounds and arenes. In the end you will be able to describe the mechanisms and the most important photochemical transformations and relate their application to concrete synthetic targets as well as the stereochemical course.

What you will be able to do

• Formulate mechanisms of photochemical reactions (direct excitation, triplet sensitization, single-electron transfer)
• Know important photochemical transformations (photocycloadditions, photocy clizations, rearrangements, abstraction reactions, photoredox processes)
• Master the application of photochemical methods to concrete synthetic targets
• Describe the stereochemical course of photochemical reactions
• Follow current research results in the field
