Diastereoselective [2+2] Photocycloaddition of Chiral Cyclic Enones with Olefins in Aqueous Media Using Surfactants

We conducted diastereodifferentiating [2+2] photocycloadditions of cyclo-hexenones modified with a chiral 8-(p-methoxy phenyl)menthyl auxiliary with olefins in water. Although the photoreaction didn’t proceed at all in pure water owing to very low solubility, the use of surfactants [sodium dodecyl s...
