Asymmetric induction through the use of remote covalent and ionic chiral auxiliaries in the solid state photochemistry of 2-benzoyladamantane-2-carboxylic acid derivatives
E. Cheung et al., Asymmetric induction through the use of remote covalent and ionic chiral auxiliaries in the solid state photochemistry of 2-benzoyladamantane-2-carboxylic acid derivatives, TETRAHEDR L, 41(49), 2000, pp. 9673-9677
Attachment of chiral auxiliaries to 2-benzoyladamantane-2-carboxylic acid,
either covalently through ester formation with optically pure alcohols, or
ionically via salt formation with optically pure amines, leads to substrate
s whose irradiation in the crystalline state affords chiral rearranged phot
oproducts in greater than or equal to 96% diastereo- and enantiomeric exces
