Application Note 59 – Automated photochemical library synthesis

A synthesis of a library of compounds enables the chemist to rapidly screen possible chemistries and produce small quantities to be used for other screening processes. This application note describes:

• Rapid synthesis of a library of 12 [2+2] photo-cycloadducts in 50 mg quantities
• Rapid screening of a range of photosensitisers
• Optimisation and scale-up of two products to several grams scale
