NEW TRENDS OF PHOTOINDUCED ORGANIC-SYNTHE SIS

Principle and recent development of photochemical reactions which are applicable to organic syntheses are interpreted. Special emphasis is p laced on the new types of heterogeneous photoinduced reactions, e.g., semiconductor photocatalytic reactions, photoreactions of solid, and t hose of incorporated or intercalation compounds. Some industrialized p hotoreactions, e.g. photonitrosation of cyclohexane, or photochlorinat ion of pyridines are also reviewed in order to see the perspective for application of photoreactions.
