Abstract
The topic which will be covered in the series will be that of the use of lasers in free radical processes. The object of our work is to either develop novel processes based on laser initiated free-radical reactions or optimize the present reactions. Many industrial chemicals are currently produced via organic photochemistry including commodity chemicals such as caprolactam and methyl-chloroform. There also have been recent reports1 of a potential photochemical pathway for the production of vinylchloride which is another large volume material.
