Selectivity control in electron spin inversion processes: Regio- and stereochemistry of Paterno-Buchi photocyclo-additions as a powerful tool for mapping intersystem crossing processes
Article Abstract:
Regio- and stereoselectivity in ene-carbonyl photocycloadditions depended on the spin multiplicity of the excited carbonyl state. The correlation between selectivity and spin state was evaluated by concentration, temperature, and solvent viscosity studies like Paterno-Buchi, determining that weak interaction connected with intersystem crossing can lead to substantial control of regio- and stereoselectivity.
