Photooxidation of Fulvenes in a Continuous Flow Photoreactor using Carbon Dioxide as a Solvent

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The front cover artwork is provided by the George–Poliakoff Group at the University of Nottingham (UK). The image shows the high‐pressure sapphire tube photoreactor under irradiation with one LED block removed. To highlight the continuous flow nature of the reactor, the starting fulvenes and oxygen are shown entering the top of the reactor and at the bottom the lactone products are released.

“Photochemically generated singlet oxygen and carbon dioxide as solvent were employed in a high‐pressure photoreactor for the synthesis of a range of 3‐substituted oxepinones by photooxidation of fulvenes. A range of substrates containing a variety of functional groups was examined …” This and more about the story behind the front cover can be found in the Article at 10.1002/cptc.201800033.
