The use of organocatalysts able to photocatalyze an organic reaction is a rapidly growing field. These photocatalyzed transformations are more environmentally sustainable with respect to the use of expensive/toxic metal-based photocatalysts. 
 Based on the authors' extensive experience in photogenerated intermediates, this book presents an overview on photocatalyzed organic processes having a synthetic significance, where an organic molecule functions as the photocatalyst. 
After a brief introduction defining the nature and the characteristics of a photo-organocatalyst (POC), the chapters are organized according to the class of POC used, as detailed below.
<ul>
<li>Ketones and aldehydes</li>
<li>Quinones</li> <li>Aromatics and cyano(hetero)aromatics</li> <li>Sulfur heterocycles: thiapyrylium salts, thiazines, methylene blue</li> <li>Oxygen heterocycles: pyrylium salts, eosin derivatives, fluorescein, rhodamines, rose bengal</li> <li>Nitrogen heterocycles: porphyrins, acridinium salts, carbazoles, imides, mpg-C3N4, tetrazines, riboflavin, bodipy</li> </ul> Each chapter begins with a summary of the photophysical characteristics of the POCs and is followed by selected examples of synthetic applications. The last two chapters are devoted to the applications of photo-organocatalysis in polymerizations and to flow photo-organocatalysis. These in-depth explanations and practical applications make this title an essential reading for any chemistry student interested in organic (sustainable) synthesis. Readership: Any chemistry student interested in organic (sustainable) synthesis.
