Hs. Banu et al., Modification of photochemical reactivity of trans-2-styrylpyridine: effectof cyclodextrin complexation, CHEM COMMUN, (7), 1999, pp. 607-608
In contrast to the solution irradiation of trans-2-styrylpyridine, photolys
is of a gamma-CD complex of the base in the solid state leads to the format
ion of the syn-head-to-tail dimer in fairly good yield.
