Novel Photochemical Reactions in Organic and Medicinal ChemistryUdgave 1

This book deals with chemical reactions which are triggered when light energy is absorbed by a substance’s molecules. It highlights the synthesis, molecular mechanism, chemical and biological properties of organic compounds and also focuses on recent advances in drug development related to cancer and other ailments. It will be helpful for researchers during target identification, lead identification, and optimization during the drug development process as well as in designing new molecules based on the data retrieved from the literature survey.

Features:

• Methods for creating carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds following green chemistry and concepts on electron-donor-acceptor pathways.

• Focuses on medicinally important molecules, in particular against diverse cancers.

• Describes synthesis of natural products.

• Describe economical and practical pathways.

• Encourages new ways to conduct research in organic and medicinal chemistry.

This book will be beneficial to undergraduates, postgraduates, research scholars, and young teachers in chemistry and biological science, pharmacists, pharmacologists, clinicians, industrialists, and biochemists.
