T. Bach et al., Facial diastereoselectivity in the [2+2]-photocycloaddition of chiral vinylglycine-derived N,N-diallyl amines, TETRAHEDR L, 40(11), 1999, pp. 2103-2104
The vinylglycine-derived N-cinnamyl-N-allyl carbamates 1, 4 and 7 were prep
ared and their sensitized intramolecular [2+2]-photocycloaddition to the ex
o-products 2, 5 and 6 was studied (53-77% yield). Perfect facial diastereos
election (d.r. = >95/5) was observed in the photocycloaddition of the rigid
oxazolidinone 4 and of the conformationally fixed acyclic carbamate 7. (C)
