Abstract

Photo-induced aromatic compounds in their excited singlet and triplet states undergo various chemical reactions. The triplet states of relatively long life times are involved in photochemical reactions in most cases. Photochemical reactions of aromatic compounds are mainly of eight types, isomerization, [2+2]- and [4+2]- cycloadditions, hydrogen abstraction and addition, electrocyclization, dimerization, oxidation, substitution and rearrangement reactions. The regio- and stereoselectivities of cycloaddition reactions of aromatic compounds with alkenes, allenes, dienes with numerous examples are highlighted. The photo-Fries rearrangement as well as the oxa- and aza-di-π-methane rearrangements are discussed in details. The photo-induced Diels–Alder reaction with mechanism and stereoselectivity are elaborated.
