Abstract

Alkenes, dienes and polyenes on absorption of light are activated to their high energy singlet and triplet excited states. These excited states before returning to ground states undergo various chemical reactions in concerted and non-concerted pathways. Their photochemical reactions are mainly of four types: cis-trans-isomerizations, electrocyclization, and cycloaddition including dimerization and rearrangement reactions. These reactions have been used in the areas of material technology, nanotechnology and supramolecular chemistry. These reactions occur on direct irradiation or irradiation in presence of photosensitizers. All these photochemical reactions including the di-π-methane and the tri-π-methane rearrangements are discussed in detail with various examples.
