چکیده

The [2 + 2] photocycloaddition is undisputedly the most important and most frequently used photochemical reaction. In this review, it is attempted to cover all recent aspects of [2 + 2] photocycloaddition chemistry with an emphasis on synthetically relevant, regio-, and stereoselective reactions. The review aims to comprehensively discuss relevant work, which was done in the field in the last 20 years (i.e., from 1995 to 2015). Organization of the data follows a subdivision according to mechanism and substrate classes. Cu(I) and PET (photoinduced electron transfer) catalysis are treated separately in sections 2 and 4 , whereas the vast majority of photocycloaddition reactions which occur by direct excitation or sensitization are divided within section 3 into individual subsections according to the photochemically excited olefin.

Brønsted Acid Catalysis in Visible‐Light‐Induced [2+2] Photocycloaddition Reactions of Enone Dithianes

1,3-Dithiane-protected enones (enone dithianes) were found to undergo an intramolecular [2+2] photocycloaddition under visible-light irradiation (λ=405 nm) in the presence of a Brønsted acid (7.5-10 mol %). Key to the success of the reaction is presumably the formation of colored thionium ions, which are intermediates of the catalytic cycle. Cyclobutanes were thus obtained in very good yields (...

Enantioselective Intermolecular [2 + 2] Photocycloaddition Reactions of 2(1H)-Quinolones Induced by Visible Light Irradiation

In the presence of a chiral thioxanthone catalyst (10 mol %) the title compounds underwent a clean intermolecular [2 + 2] photocycloaddition with electron-deficient olefins at λ = 419 nm. The reactions not only proceeded with excellent regio- and diastereoselectivity but also delivered the respective cyclobutane products with significant enantiomeric excess (up to 95% ee). Key to the success of...

The Photoreactions of Thymine with Hypoxanthine and Imidazole*

Photocycloaddition, Thymine, Azetidine, Cyclobutane Adducts Photochemical reactions of thymine linked to hypoxanthine or imidazole by a trimethylene chain were studied in aqueous solution. Irradiation (A = 254 nm) of thymine-hypoxanthine pair yielded two internal cycloadducts with azetidine and cyclobutane part structures. Sensitization and quenching experiments suggested that the excited singl...

Stereoselective intermolecular [2 + 2]-photocycloaddition reactions of maleic anhydride: stereocontrolled and regiocontrolled access to 1,2,3-trifunctionalized cyclobutanes.

Short synthetic sequences commencing with the photosensitized [2 + 2]-cycloaddition reactions of maleic anhydride with either allyl alcohol or propargyl alcohol have been elaborated to provide access to 1,2,3-trisubstituted cyclobutanes with three differentiated one-carbon substituents and complementary stereochemical patterns. These intermediates were used to prepare three discrete stereo- and...

Chirogenic [3 + 2]-photocycloaddition reactions of 2-substituted naphthoquinones with cyclic alkenes.

The formal [3 + 2]-photocycloaddition of 2-hydroxy- (2a) and 2-amino-1,4-naphthoquinone (2b) to olefins was studied in various solvents aiming at a possible enantioselective reaction course. The reaction conditions were optimised for irradiation at low temperature in a nonpolar solvent employing external fluorescent lamps as irradiation sources. Best yields for the reaction of 2-hydroxy-1,4-nap...
