Organic synthesis is the key requirement for the development of medicinal chemistry, natural product chemistry and material chemistry. Classical organic reactions required number of low volatile solvents and hazardous chemicals which contribute different toxic waste products and pollutants to the environment. In present scenario, it is one of the biggest challenges for organic chemists to achieve organic reactions without any negative or with minimum negative impact on the environment. In past two decades, organic photochemistry has been developed as a significant tool in organic synthesis to construct organic systems including the asymmetric synthesis. The main advantages of organic photochemistry are to minimize the use of hazardous chemicals and formation of minimum side products. In the proposed thematic issue, we will focus on the recent advances of photo induced organic photochemical reactions.
The main problem associated with organic synthesis is the use of hazardous chemicals including reaction solvents. These hazardous chemicals damage to environment significantly as they produces toxic pollutants. Involvement of organic photochemistry in organic synthesis provides the key solution of several problems associated with impact of organic chemicals and solvents to our environment. There are different ways to harness the light energy for achieving organic reactions without much deterioration to the environment. Recently, photoredox catalysis has been successfully emerged to achieve variety of organic photochemical reactions. In photoredox catalysis, different transition metal complexes and organic dyes have been used as photo-catalyst and get excited by using light of different wavelength. Photoredox catalysis is green and comparatively more environment friendly synthetic tool than traditional organic reactions. It would be great to publish a thematic issue on ‘’Light induced Transformations in Organic Photochemistry.’’ We believe that our proposed thematic issue will provide an asset to the organic chemists who are working in different branches of organic photochemistry.
We welcome Original Research, Review, Mini Review and Perspective articles on themes including, but not limited to:
• Organic photochemical reactions involving metal-based photo-catalysts
• Organic photochemical reactions involving organic dyes-based Photo-catalysts
• Organic photochemical reactions involving blue LEDs
• Organic photochemical reactions involving visible light
Keywords:
Photocatalyst, Blue LED, Photoredox, Organic photochemistry, green synthesis
Important Note:
All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
