Addition photosensitized

In a few less common procedures, the photocatalyst serves as a carrier of the hydrogen atom, subsequently forming a radical intermediate that must be regenerated via another hydrogen transfer step. For instance, a lower than stoichiometric amount of benzophenone is sufficient to trigger a photocatalysed addition of alkynes substituted with electron-withdrawing groups to cycloalkanes (575 is produced in less than 70% chemical yield Scheme 6.274).1491 In addition, photosensitized isomerization via the Schenck mechanism (Scheme 6.15 in Section 6.1.1) may also represent a photocatalytic radical process. 

The development of photocatalysts for the reduction of CO2 hy sunlight is an important research field. Recently, a mononuclear iridium(iii) complex, [Ir(tpy)(ppy)Cl], has been reported as a novel photocatalyst able to selectively reduce CO2 to CO under visible light (A = 480nm), without additional photosensitizers. A big advantage of this Ir-based system over Re complexes is the high photocatalytic activity, that is maintained even in the presence of water. The photocatalytic CO2 reduction mechanism has been obtained by spectroscopic (e.g. H-NMR) and ESI-MS investigations. During the photocatalytic reaction, [Ir(tpy)-(ppy)Cl] is transformed into an activated form, [Ir(tpy)(ppy)H].

Single-phase photochemical reactions or homogeneous photochemical reactions take place in the liquid phase in most cases. The substrate molecules are often dissolved in an organic solvent and in some cases an additional photosensitizer is also dissolved. This reaction category was amongst the first to be investigated in microreactors. 

Electroless plating on metal substrates can be improved by addition of pentaerythritol, either to a photosensitive composition of a noble metal salt (99), or with glycerine to nickel plating solutions (100). Both resolution and covering power of the electrolyte are improved. 

Materials. For holographic information storage, materials are required which alter their index of refraction locally by spotwise illumination with light. Suitable are photorefractive inorganic crystals, eg, LiNbO, BaTiO, LiTaO, and Bq2 i02Q. Also suitable are photorefractive ferroelectric polymers like poly(vinyhdene fluoride-i o-trifluorethylene) (PVDF/TFE). Preferably transparent polymers are used which contain approximately 10% of monomeric material (so-called photopolymers, photothermoplasts). These polymers additionally contain different initiators, photoinitiators, and photosensitizers. 

Uses. Cinnamyl alcohol and its esters, especially cinnamyl acetate, are widely employed in perfumery because of their excellent sensory and fixative properties. They are frequently used in blossom compositions such as lilac, jasmine, lily of the valley, hyacinth, and gardenia to impart balsamic and oriental notes to the fragrance. In addition, they ate utilized as modifiers in berry, nut, and spice flavor systems. The value of cinnamyl alcohol has also been mentioned in a variety of appHcations which include the production of photosensitive polymers (49), the creation of inks for multicolor printing (50), the formulation of animal repellent compositions (51), and the development of effective insect attractants (52). 

A-Substituted pyrroles, furans and dialkylthiophenes undergo photosensitized [2 + 2] cycloaddition reactions with carbonyl compounds to give oxetanes. This is illustrated by the addition of furan and benzophenone to give the oxetane (138). The photochemical reaction of pyrroles with aliphatic aldehydes and ketones results in the regiospecific formation of 3-(l-hydroxyalkyl)pyrroles (e.g. 139). The intermediate oxetane undergoes rearrangement under the reaction conditions (79JOC2949). 

When buta-1,3-diene 3 is irradiated in the presence of a photosensitizer (e.g. benzophenone), the isomeric divinylcyclobutanes 6 and 7 are formed via the intermediate diradical species 4 and 5 respectively in addition the [4 + 2] cycloaddition product 4-vinylcyclohexene (see Diels-Alder reaction) is obtained as a side product ... 

This system gave results that were further improved upon by the addition of a photosensitizer (e.g., a thiopy-rilium, pyrilium, and selena-pyrilium salt) to bring the absorption of light into the visible region. 

Curiously, the photosensitized addition of oxygen to 3,5-di-r >rf-butyl-l//-azepine, which gives exclusively [6 + 2] cycloadducts with ethenetetracarbonitrile, affords only the [4 + 2] adduct.270... 

All fluoroquinolone drugs can cause pain, inflammation, or rupture of a tendon. The Achilles tendon is particularly vulnerable. This problem can be so severe tiiat prolonged disability results, and, at times, surgical intervention may be necessary to correct die problem, hi addition, the fluoroquinolone drugs, particularly sparfloxacin and lomefloxacin, cause dangerous photosensitivity reactions. Fhtients have experienced severe reactions even when sunscreens or sunblocks were used. 

When a photosynthetic organism is omitted, the addition of a photosensitizer is necessary. The methods use light energy to promote the transfer of an electron from a photosensitizer to NAD(P) via an electron transport reagent [6g]. Recently, carbon dioxide cvas reduced to formic acid with FDH from Saccharomyces cerevisiae in the presence of methylviologen (MV ) as a mediator, zinc tetrakis(4-methylpyridyl) porphyrin (ZnTMPyP) as a photosensitizer, and triethanolamine (TEOA) as a hydrogen source (Figure 8.8) [6h]. 

In another reductive coupling, substituted alkenes (CH2=CH Y Y = R, COOMe, OAc, CN, etc.) can be dimerized to substituted alkanes (CH3CHYCHYCH3) by photolysis in an H2 atmosphere, using Hg as a photosensitizer. Still another procedure involves palladium-catalyzed addition of vinylic halides to triple bonds to give 1,3-dienes. ... 

In addition, Montenegro et al., (2007) determined that the photosensitized RF-mediated degradation of vitamins A, D3, and RF itself in skimmed milk was strongly reduced by the addition of small amounts of lycopene-gum arabic-sucrose microcapsules, prepared by spray-drying. Under these conditions, the bulk properties of the skimmed milk were unmodified. The main photoprotection mechanism of the milk vitamins was the efficient quenching of the 3Rf by the protein moiety of GA. Small contributions (<5%) to the total photoprotection percentage was due to both inner filter effect and 1O2 quenching by the microencapsulated lycopene.
