![]() ![]() (38) This undermined the confidence of researchers─especially in the fine-chemical industry─to integrate photochemical steps in their synthetic routes toward pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials. (34−36) Also from a scale-up perspective, photochemistry is still regarded as a daunting challenge because of the high cost of photons (37) and the light absorption, which causes a gradual loss of light intensity through the reaction medium. ![]() In one of the earlier reviews on photochemistry, (33) Noyes and Kassel stated already in the first paragraph that “ Unfortunately, while Photochemistry may be said to be much older than its fellows, it is at present in a far more unsatisfactory state.” Indeed, photochemical transformations are often perceived as very complex with regard to reaction kinetics. However, although the use of photons in organic synthesis is as old as the field itself, (32) it was consistently met with skepticism. ![]()
