Asymmetric Induction during Yang Cyclization of α-Oxoamides: The Power of a Covalently Linked Chiral Auxiliary Is Enhanced in the Crystalline State
dataset
posted on 2005-03-16, 00:00 authored by Arunkumar Natarajan, Joel T. Mague, V. Ramamurthyγ-Hydrogen abstraction has been revealed to be the primary photoprocess in the crystalline
state of α-oxoamides through photochemical and X-ray structural studies. The outstanding ability of a
covalent chiral auxiliary in generating asymmetric induction in the photoproduct β-lactam has been
established with 10 examples. We have shown that the crystal lattice preorganizes the reactant molecules
toward a single diastereomer of the β-lactam and prevents large motions of the 1,4-diradical intermediate
that would result in the loss of stereochemical memory. A rare single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation
path of one of the examples investigated establishes the direct correlation between the stereochemistries
of the reactant and the product.
