Preferred Label : photodeconjugation;
IUPAC definition : Photoinduced reaction of conjugated compounds (e.g., enones and carboxylic acid derivatives)
leading to loss of conjugation.;
Scope note : this reaction has important synthetic applications for the synthesis of frameworks
of numerous natural products, such asß,¿-unsaturated carboxylic acids from photoexcitation
ofa,ß-unsaturated carboxylic acid derivatives, excluding the use of strong bases,
as required for similar isomerizations performed in the ground state.;
Origin ID : PT07455;
