Ms. Shepard et Em. Carreira, ENANTIOSELECTIVE ALLENE ENONE PHOTOCYCLOADDITIONS - THE USE OF AN INEXPENSIVE OPTICALLY-ACTIVE 1,3-DISUBSTITUTED ALLENE/, Tetrahedron, 53(48), 1997, pp. 16253-16276
We report the preparation and use of an inexpensive readily prepared o
ptically active 1,3-disubstituted allene that may be utilized for enan
tioselective intramolecular allene/enone photocycloadditions. In addit
ion, we describe novel substrates for intramolecular [2+2] photocycloa
dditions which substantially expand the scope of the process to includ
e amino-and thio-tethered allene/enones. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd
