| Abstract |
Represented by dimerization of chalcones and cinnamic acid derivatives, photo [2+2] cycloaddition is a unique strategy to construct cyclobutanes, the building blocks for a variety of biologically active molecules existing in nature. However, most attempts for the above [2+2] addition focused on solid-state, molten-state or host-guest systems under ultraviolet light irradiation in order to overcome the competition of facile geometric isomerization of nonrigid olefins. Here, we report a general and simple method to realize the intermolecular [2+2] dimerization reaction of these acyclic olefins to construct cyclobutanes in a highly stereo- and diastereoselective manner in solution under visible light, which provides an efficient solution to the long pending problem. |
