Essentials of Pericyclic and Photochemical Reactions

This book provides a concise introduction to pericyclic and phohemical reactions for organic synthesis. In the first part about pericyclic reactions, the author explains electrocyclic reactions, cycloaddition reactions, sigmatropic rearrangements, and group transfer reactions. The second part on phohemistry is dedicated to phohemical reactions of a variety of compound classes, including alkenes, dienes, and polyenes, carbonyl compounds, and aromatic compounds. Additionally, photofragmentati...
