Abstract

This Review describes singlet oxygen ((1)O2) in the organic synthesis of targets on possible (1)O2 biosynthetic routes. The visible-light sensitized production of (1)O2 is not only useful for synthesis; it is extremely common in nature. This Review is intended to draw a logical link between flow and batch reactions-a combination that leads to the current state of (1)O2 in synthesis.
