Asymmetric meta-arene–alkene photocycloaddition controlled by a 2,4-pentanediol tether
摘要:
Photo-irradiation of a substrate having phenyl and vinyl groups resulted in a stereocontrolled meta-arene-alkene cycloaddition when the two groups were connected by a chiral 2,4-pentanediol tether. The regioselectivity during the ring closing step after the initial addition was dependent on the stereochemistry of the tether and the photolysis conditions. The substrate bearing a p-tolyl or 3,5-xylyl group instead of the phenyl also underwent strict stereocontrolled addition. In the case of the o- and m-tolyl substrates, the regioselectivity due to the unsymmetric substitution of the arene moiety was also fully controlled. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Regio- and diastereo-chemically controlled photocycloaddition of an arene and an alkene linked by a chiral auxiliary
摘要:
Intramolecular meta-arene-alkene photocycloaddition of 1b, the substrate having a chiral auxiliary as a linking bridge between the arene and the alkene, resulted in high diastereofacial differentiation of the alkene at the addition step and sufficient regiocontrol of the subsequent ring closure step to give a single diastereomer 4.
