摘要:
The use of a silyloxy group as a stereocontrol element on the most distant carbon of a pyrindinone during intermolecular [4+4] photocycloaddition was tested using silyl groups varying in size (tert-butyldimethylsilyl < triisopropylsilyl < tribenzylsilyl). The ratio of the diastereomeric products was proportional to the size of the silyl group, with the largest, tribenzylsilyl, giving the best ratio of 10:1. The expected stereochemistry was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
