Taming the excited state reactivity of imines – from non-radiative decay to aza Paternò–Büchi reaction

Abstract

This review highlights the excited state characteristics of imines and processes that govern their photochemical and photophysical properties. This review examines the pathways for deactivation and types of photochemical reactions that originate from excited imines. This review also features recent strategies that are developed to circumvent the fundamental issues that have plagued the development of the aza Paternò–Büchi reaction.
