Ketones feature prominently in accounts of the earliest systematic studies of both synthetic and mechanistic organic photochemistry. They absorb in the more readily accessible wavelength ranges of the ultraviolet, so that some aromatic ketones react even in sunlight, and many of their photochemical reactions lead efficiently to products that can be easily isolated or analysed. Ketones continue to be used as substrates for many studies in photochemistry, and in general they have been more intensively studied than any other group of organic compounds. 

In this chapter we shall present a simplified picture of photophysical processes and a glimpse of mechanistic organic photochemistry. More complete accounts of photochemistry, one of the newest and most intensely studied fields of organic chemistry, are found in the books and articles referred to in note 1. 

Finally, in the last section, we illustrate via case studies a few general results obtained in the field of mechanistic organic photochemistry and com-...
