The photochemical behaviour of spontaneously formed microemulsions obtained upon dilution of ethanolic solutions of trans-anethole (E-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)propene, t-A) with water is compared to that of homogeneous ethanolic t-A solutions. Significant differences in reactivity reflect the confined nature of the aggregated t-A which leads to reduced yields of isomerization and dimerization products. In contrast to homogeneous solutions, where a photostationary state enriched in the Z-isomer (c-A…

The Ouzo effect”: Following the spontaneous emulsification of trans -anethole in water by NMR
UV-tunable laser induced phototransformations of matrix isolated anethole.
TLDR
The obtained results showed that the narrowband UV-induced E-Z photoisomerization is an efficient and selective way to interconvert the two isomers of anethole into each other, with conformational discrimination.

CuII–salan compounds: Synthesis, characterization and evaluation of their potential as oxidation catalysts
Flavonoids protecting food and beverages against light.
TLDR
Increasing understanding of the interplay between light and matrix physicochemistry, for example the effect of aprotic microenvironments on phototautomerisation of compounds like quercetin, opens up for engineering better light-to-heat converting channels in processed food to eventually prevent quality loss.
Changes in Volatile Compounds during Aging of Sweet Fennel Fruits-Comparison of Hydrodistillation and Static Headspace Sampling Methods
TLDR
The relative abundance of the major components is comparable between these two methods for fennel seed up to 3 years from harvest and they can be used interchangeably depending on the purpose and amount of material.

Probing the initial events in the spontaneous emulsification of trans-anethole using dynamic NMR spectroscopy.
TLDR
The spontaneous emulsification of alcoholic solutions of trans-anethole (t-A) in water is investigated using EXSY and DOSY NMR techniques, finding the kinetic rates governing the exchange process between aggregated and free t-A to be time-dependent and slow on the NMR time scale.
Supramolecular systems as microreactors: control of product selectivity in organic phototransformation.
TLDR
This Account reviews the developments in microreactor-controlled selectivity in organic phototransformation and describes ZSM-5 zeolite, Nafion membranes, and vesicles as hosts direct photosensitized oxidation of alkenes selectively toward either the energy- transfer-mediated or the electron-transfer-mediated products.
Spontaneously formed trans-anethol/water/alcohol emulsions: mechanism of formation and stability.
TLDR
The volume fraction of the dispersed phase was found to profoundly affect the growth rates of the droplets, which is a new finding that has not been predicted by the Lifshitz-Slyozov-Wagner theory.

Regioselective photodimerization of cinnamic acids in water: Templation with cucurbiturils.
TLDR
Consistent with the postulated requirement of large cavities for templating olefins to dimerization, irradiation of complexes of cinnamic acid with cucurbit[7]uril resulted in only the corresponding cis isomers.

TLDR
The use of supramolecular catalysis to control the photoinduced dimerization of styrene, cinnamate, and stilbene chromophores is reported and the origin of the regioselectivity in the presence of DHB is discussed in terms of topochemical control within the supramolescular architecture.
The photochemical addition of 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol to methoxy-substituted stilbenes.
TLDR
The excited-state lifetime of the trans-stilbene chromophore in acetonitrile is prolonged by methoxy substituents in the meta positions, and the reaction pathway proceeds through a carbocation intermediate.
