Conducting reactions in environmentally benign conditions is one of the major objectives of “green chemistry.” In this context, developing ways to conduct reactions in water seems obvious. In this report, we present our results on photodimerization of select guest molecules placed within the rigid reaction cavity of a water-soluble cavitand, octa acid. The results presented herein highlight the value of a supramolecular approach in achieving selectivity in photoreactions and opening reaction pathways that are latent in solution chemistry.
                                    在对环境无害的条件下进行反应是 "绿色
化学 "的主要目标之一。在这种情况下,开发在
水中进行反应的方法似乎显而易见。在本报告中,我们介绍了置于
水溶性空穴剂
辛酸的刚性反应腔内的精选客体分子的光二聚化结果。本文介绍的结果凸显了超分子方法在实现光反应选择性和打开溶液
化学潜在反应途径方面的价值。
