Article Synopsis
- The study presents a new asymmetric photodimerization reaction using coumarin derivatives with a specific auxiliary, resulting in mainly head-to-tail dimers.
- The reaction showed a moderate level of diastereoselectivity, achieving a ratio of 75 : 25 for the products.
- The proposed mechanism for this selectivity involves density functional theory (DFT) calculations, suggesting that the benzyl group of the auxiliary, paired with a Lewis acid, influences the reaction site's shielding and selectivity.
