Lewis Acid-Catalyzed Photochemical Reactions of Conjugated Carbonyl Compounds: Fundamental Studies and Application to Isomerization of Cycloheptene Derivatives

68 Seiten, Dissertation Technische Universität München (2023), Softcover, A5

Zusammenfassung / Abstract

The impact of Lewis acids on photochemical reactions of conjugated carbonyl compounds was studied in two projects. The first project used model complexes and a combination of experiments, theory and spectroscopy to evaluate mechanistic hypotheses and find novel reactivity. The second project investigated the photoinduced E-Z isomerization of cycloheptene derivatives, including cyclohept-2-en-1-one and cyclohept-1-ene-1-carbaldehyde. Thermal background reactions with Lewis acids made them unsuitable for photoinduced Diels-Alder reactions.
