The inability of the intrazeolite environment to influence the regiochemistry of addition of singlet oxygen to electron-poor olefins is reported. This divergent behavior with respect to electron-rich alkenes is rationalized with a multicomplexation model that emphasizes the importance of intrazeolite substrate-cation binding.

Creating a stationary fluorinated environment inside the zeolite cavity can increase the reactivity observed for intrazeolite photooxidation of alkenes. Exchanging the zeolite with fluorinated organic cations is a much more effective strategy than simply using a fluorinated solvent for slurry irradiations. Use of cations containing C-F bonds is also more efficient than use of deuterated cations for creation of a singlet oxygen friendly environment where the quenching processes are slowed down.

The intrazeolite and solution photooxygenations of a series of sulfides have been compared. The unusual zeolite environment enhances the rates of reaction, it suppresses the Pummerer rearrangements, and it has a dramatic effect on the sulfoxide/sulfone ratio. A detailed kinetic study utilizing trapping experiments and intramolecular competition provides evidence for cation complexation to a persulfoxide intermediate as the underlying phenomenon for the unique intrazeolite behavior.

The intrazeolite photooxidations of several alkenes have been examined in hexane and in perfluorohexane slurries. The ability of perfluorohexane to increase the affinity of alkenes for the interior of the zeolite was documented. The nearly identical reaction rates in the two slurry solvents are attributed to a leveling of the singlet oxygen lifetime by the zeolite framework.
