Photochemistry and electrochemistry

The two parts of the present volume consist of 17 chapters written by experts from 10 countries. They start with historical background, followed by chapters on the theory, structure, thermochemistry, photophysics and photochemistry and electrochemistry of anilines, on their mass spectrometry, NMR spectra and analysis and on their modern syntheses by transition metal catalysed processes. Other chapters deal with their rearrangements, their reactivity as nucleophiles, their use as solvatochromic probes, their hydrogen bonded complexes, and their versatile uses in the chemical industry, and the relevant topic of toxicity and environmental aspects. A chapter on a special group of anilines—the proton sponges—ends the book.

All this means is that new branches such as biochemistry, photochemistry, and electrochemistry have to be incorporated into chemical engineering training programs so that the present fields of knowledge will have to be condensed by about one-third. As a consequence there again will be a change in the aims and therefore also in the entire concept of chemical engineering. 

Organic chemists use methods in which electrons are "manipulated" directly. Photochemistry and electrochemistry fall into this class of reactions, and most of the time both exhibit high selectivities. 

Homogeneous Reactions II Photochemistry and Electrochemistry and Radiopharmaceutical Synthesis... 

It is well established that microreactors and continuous flow synthesis enable reactions to be performed more rapidly, efficiently, and selectively than batch reactions. In addition to traditional solution phase synthesis, microreactor technology has now been demonstrated to effldently enable photochemistry and electrochemistry to be more easily introduced into the methodology available to the synthetic chemist. As illustrated within this chapter, it is also possible to conduct PET radiosynthesis within these systems where a key advantage is that the processing time can be substantially reduced.
