The substitution of primary or secondary alcohols with nucleophiles mediated by a redox
combination of a trialkylor triarylphosphine and a dialkyl azodicarboxylate is popularly …

Since the beginning of scientific chemistry, chemists have been interested in light as an
energy source to induce chemical reactions. 1 Absorbing light, molecules reach an …

Polymers featuring photolabile groups are the subject of intense research because they
allow the alteration of polymer properties simply by irradiation. In particular, the o-nitrobenzyl …

We evaluated the o‐nitrobenzyl platform for designing photolabile protecting groups with red‐
shifted absorption that could be photolyzed upon one‐and two‐photon excitation. Several …

Electron transfer reactions are among the most elementary of all chemical reactions and
play a fundamental role in many areas including organic synthesis, biological processes …

The use of nanotechnology to improve treatment efficacy and reduce side effects is central to
nanomedicine. In this context, stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems (DDS) such as …

This Review focuses on the structure‐reactivity relationship of three main classes of
photolabile protecting groups (PPGs), that is, the 2‐nitrobenzyl (NB) series of PPGs …

Anticancer photodynamic therapy (PDT) in recent years has gained attention among
therapists due to its low systemic toxicity and non-invasive nature. Today, one of the big …

We report here the syntheses and the photolytic properties of 3‐(4, 5‐dimethoxy‐2‐
nitrophenyl)‐2‐butyl (DMNPB) esters as new photoremovable groups for carboxylic acids …
