Irradiation of (Z)-N-benzoyl-alpha-dehydro(9-phenanthryl)alanine N'-methylamide [(Z)-1] in 2-propanol-methanol (4:1 v/v) containing (S)-nicotine afforded the (3S,8aS)-3,8a-dihydrodibenzo[f,h]quinolinone derivative [(3S,8aS)-2] and (3R,8aS)-2 in 20% and 35% enantiomeric excess (ee), respectively. Analysis of the effects of a chiral amine and solvent on the electron transfer-initiated enantioselective photocyclization of (Z)-1 revealed that the magnitude of the ee is predominantly determined by the ability of this amine to form hydrogen bonds at the two sites of the enol intermediate as the precursor of 2.
