Photochemical Synthesis

The Best Synthetic Methods Series is aimed at practising organic chemists who require up-to-date details of working methods for the synthesis of organic compounds. This volume concentrates on the synthesis of compounds with specifictypes of structures which has not been possible by standard thermal methods. For ease of use the photochemical reactions covered have been presented by their functional groups.
