caused highly enantioselective Norrish type II photocyclization to yield the (R)-cyclobutenol with 94% ee in 100% yield as the sole product, resulting in successful absolute asymmetric synthesis. In contrast, the (S)-cyclobutenol was obtained from the P crystal with 95% ee in 100% yield. The high enantiodifferentiation in the crystalline-state photocyclization is attributed to the shorter distance between
