Light-Induced Enantiospecific 4π Ring Closure of Axially Chiral 2-Pyridones: Enthalpic and Entropic Effects Promoted by H-Bonding
摘要:
Nonbiaryl axially chiral 2-pyridones were synthesized and employed for light-induced electrocyclic 4 pi ring closure leading to bicyclo-beta-lactam photoproducts in solution. The enantioselectivity in the photoproducts varied from 22 to 95% depending on the reaction temperature and the ability of the axially chiral chromophore to form intramolecular and/or intermolecular H-bonds with the solvent. On the basis of the differential activation parameters, entropic control of the enantiospecificity was observed for 2-pyridones lacking the ability to form H-bonds. Conversely, enthalpy played a significant role for 2-pyridones having the ability to form H-bonds.
