Abstract
|
|
|
|
| Due to the climate change, pollutions, energy shortage and other interrelated global crises, there is always an increasing demand for the development of environmentally friendly processes in the chemical industries. In the last two decades, the field of photochemistry has emerged as a potent methodology across diverse domains, enabling the synthesis of numerous intricate compounds through environmentally sustainable means. This thesis aims to demonstrate the advantages of photochemistry as a potent methodology for synthesizing valuable products across diverse domains. Chapter 1 introduced the fundamental principles and concepts underlying photochemistry, elucidating them through existing methodologies or systems. To show the efficiency, safety and circularity of photochemistry, four distinct methodologies (Chapter 2-5) were developed and employed, utilizing photoredox and photochemical reactions to produce valuable products across various domains, demonstrating the practical application of photochemistry in synthesis. All these methodologies rely on the photochemistry, aiming to engineer or create environmentally sustainable and milder reaction systems to attain specific desired products. |
