TLDR
Atropisomeric maleimides were synthesized and employed for stereospecific [2 + 2] photocycloaddition and high selectivity in the photoproduct upon reaction from the triplet excited state was rationalized on the basis of conformational factors as well as the type of diradical intermediate that was preferred during the photoreaction.Abstract:
Atropisomeric maleimides were synthesized and employed for stereospecific [2 + 2] photocycloaddition. Efficient reaction was observed under direct irradiation, triplet-sensitized UV irradiation, and non-metal catalyzed visible-light irradiation, leading to two regioisomeric (exo/endo) photoproducts with complete chemoselectivity (exclusive [2 + 2] photoproduct). High enantioselectivity (ee > 98%) and diastereoselectivity (dr > 99:1%) were observed under the employed reaction conditions and were largely dependent on the substituent on the maleimide double bond but minimally affected by the substituents on the alkenyl tether. On the basis of detailed photophysical studies, the triplet energies of the maleimides were estimated. The triplet lifetimes appeared to be relatively short at room temperature as a result of fast [2 + 2] photocycloaddition. For the visible-light mediated reaction, triplet energy transfer occurred with a rate constant close to the diffusion-limited value. The mechanism was established ...read more
