Photochemistry

Overview

Photochemistry is a science that studies the physical and chemical processes that occur when light interacts with matter. In recent years, with the high attention of human beings to energy, environment, health and other issues, modern photochemical research has achieved rapid development.

In the pharmaceutical field, photochemical technology has been widely used in the synthesis of biologically active natural products and drug molecules. Its green and efficient characteristics not only make the synthesis process simpler, but also help to obtain high-purity products.

Advantages

In the pharmaceutical field, chemical reactions involving light usually have the following advantages:

High Selectivity

Photochemical synthesis can achieve higher reaction selectivity. By regulating the properties of the photocatalyst and the characteristics of the light source, the chemical bonds of the target compound can be selectively excited without affecting the cleavage of other chemical bonds.

High Efficiency

Photochemical reactions are usually carried out with high efficiency, allowing rapid and economical synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Traditional synthesis methods may require multiple steps and harsh reaction conditions. In contrast, photochemistry provides a simplified way to obtain target molecules, reducing time and resource consumption.

Mild Reaction Conditions

Photochemical reactions usually occur under mild reaction conditions, such as room temperature and atmospheric pressure. This minimizes the need for expensive or dangerous reagents.

Environmental Sustainability

Photochemical synthesis can maximize the use of light energy and effectively reduce the waste of energy. This is of great significance for achieving sustainable development. In addition, photochemical synthesis also has lower by-products and reduces the risk of environmental pollution.
