Abstract
Several γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CDx) derivatives were used as chiral hosts for the photocyclodimerization of 2-anthracenecarboxylic acid (AC). The effect of pH on photoreactivity and stereochemical outcome of photoproducts was investigated. Upon changing the solution pH, the stereochemical outcome of HH cyclodimer 3 was inverted from 25.2% to −64.4% and 41.2% to −76.2%, respectively, in the photocyclodimerization of AC mediated by bis-quinoline-modified γ-CDx 7 and its N-methylated derivative 8.
