Case Study 6.25 Green photochemistry - photochemical Friedel-Crafts acylation 

8 Carboxylic Acids and Their Esters Photofragmentation and Rearrangement 

For example, the photochemistry of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) derived from 2-arylpropionic acid, has been studied because these compounds are known to exhibit phototoxicity (see Special Topic 6.22) and skin photosensitivity in some patients. The photodecarboxylation of ketoprofen (325), a benzophenone
