Asymmetric photodeconjugation of ammonium ene-carboxylates: temperature effects and evidence for the alpha-carbon of the dienolic species as a latenttrigonal centre
F. Henin et al., Asymmetric photodeconjugation of ammonium ene-carboxylates: temperature effects and evidence for the alpha-carbon of the dienolic species as a latenttrigonal centre, TETRAHEDR-A, 11(9), 2000, pp. 2037-2044
The diastereoselective photodeconjugation of CH2Cl2 solutions of enantiopur
e ammonium ene-carboxylates was studied and the results compared with those
of the enantioselective photodeconjugation of ene-esters in the presence o
f catalytic amounts of chiral aminoalcohols. We have observed a significant
entropic effect and shown that a C-beta control of the selectivity is oper
ative in the asymmetric protonation of the photodienolic species, (C) 2000
