The discovery, understanding and synthetic exploitation of the photochemical transformation of pyridinium salts are described. The investigations surrounding the remarkable transformation of pyridinium salts into a host of structurally complex motifs have helped extend the comprehension of aromatic and heteroaromatic photochemistry. The synthetic community has, in recent years, recognised the potential inherent in these compounds and has since exploited the irradiation of variously substituted pyridinium salts as key steps in the preparation of advanced intermediates in numerous synthetic programmes.

Abstract from Methods in Organic Synthesis 2008

A review, with 58 references, covering the mechanism, scope and limitations of the title reactions and their use in the synthesis of biologically active molecules.
