Enantioselective Photochemical Reactions of 2-Pyridones in Solution

Abstract: [reaction: see text] Two key photochemical reactions of prochiral 2-pyridones were studied in the presence of a chiral host. The [4 + 4]-photocycloaddition with cyclopentadiene (CpH) proceeded smoothly and with high enantioselectivity (84-87% ee). The absolute configuration of the endo-diastereoisomer was established by X-ray crystallography. The electrocyclic [4pi]-ring closure to 3-oxo-2-azabicyclo[2.2.0]-5-hexenes occurred with lower enantioselectivity (20-23% ee at -20 degrees C). The velocity of the latte… Show more

“…The formation of H-B pyridone dimers was first used by Beak and Ziegler to enhance the photodimerization of distant cinnamates in solution. [16] More recently, similar interactions formed the basis of the enantioselective dimerization of pyrimidones [17] ( Figure 4) and their cycloaddition to aromatic aldehydes and ketones. [18] By exerting enantiotopic control over photochemical reactions, their usefulness in organic synthesis can be expanded significantly.…”

“…In the presence of chiral template 44a , 61 and 62 are produced in remarkable ee ' s of 84 -87%. 115 Compound 63 (Scheme 4.24 ), which was originally developed as a gastroprokinetic agent, and its epimer 64 were incidentally found to strongly bind affords HT dimer 5b in − 36% ee and HH dimer 5c in − 40% ee in CH 2 Cl 2 at − 50 ° C. In contrast, epimer 64 , which forms an open rather than stacked complex with AC, affords the same cyclodimers but only in poor enantioselectivity of < 3% ee.…”

“…Introducing chiral molecules in the reaction mixture able to give complexes with a reduced mobility. Some applications have been reported recently in cycloaddition reactions [53][54][55][56][57], in Norrish II reactions [31], in photocyclization [32], and in photoenolizations and Diels-Alder (Scheme 13) [58][59][60][61]. 3.…”
