Photochemical Synthesis

We supply many manufacturers of high-quality organic compounds with UV systems for the realisation of photochemical steps in organic synthesis. In this process, e.g. vitamins, hormones, fragrances and other valuable components are produced by synthesis with light (preparative photochemistry). Our usually used for these applications. Photochemical synthesis has the advantage that often complex synthesis steps can be shortened, resulting in high yields and high purity. In many preparative photo-reactions, the high purity comes from the moderate reaction conditions, as thermal side reactions are suppressed. Photochemistry offers the possibility to perform many reactions at very low media temperatures; it is not uncommon for preparations to be photochemically produced at temperatures far below freezing temperature.
