The excimer radiation system:: a powerful tool for preparative organic photochemistry.: A technical note

The XeCl excimer 308 nm radiation system is described as a powerful tool for synthetic organic photochemistry involving carbonyl and carbonyl-type chromophores. Scaleable photochemical reactions which have been tested and optimized for this system were photodecarboxylation, [2 + 2]-photocycloaddition, and Type III (electron transfer) photooxygenation reactions.
