reactions Faculty mentor: Neal Yakelis, Chemistry Diels-Alder reactions are common reactions used in organic synthesis. However, they often require harsh reaction conditions or expensive and hazardous metal catalysts. Recent works have shown that photocatalysts can allow Diels-Alder reactions to be run at room temperature by irradiating the reaction vessel with blue LED light, producing high yields. Fluorenone is one such catalyst that has been investigated in recent literature. Our work seeks to
