The photochirogenesis of 2-anthracenecarboxylic acid (AC) complexed to a hydrogen-bonding template (TKS159) was investigated to obtain mechanistic information on how chirogenesis is achieved for the dimerization of AC. Complexation of AC to TKS159 leads to the shielding of one of the two surfaces of the prochiral AC molecule. The two diastereomeric AC-TKS complexes, i.e., re-AC-TKS and si-AC-TKS, were characterized by changes in the UV-vis, fluorescence, and circular dichroism spectra and excited-state lifetimes. The ee is not simply determined by the diastereomeric ratio of the re- and si-AC-TKS complexes but also depends on the relative lifetimes of the diastereomeric complexes. The relative population of the re and si complexes was calculated from the enantiomeric excess (ee) for the products, taking into account the relative lifetimes of the two complexes. These studies established a protocol that can be used to reveal the mechanism for photochirogenesis by investigating the ground state and the excited state behavior of supramolecular systems.

GroEL, a chaperone protein responsible for peptide and denatured protein folding, undergoes substantial conformational changes driven by ATP binding and hydrolysis during folding. Utilizing these conformational changes, we demonstrated the GroEL-mediated regioselective photocyclodimerization of 2-anthracenecarboxylic acid (AC) using ATP hydrolysis as an external stimulus. We designed and prepared an optimal GroEL mutant to employ in a docking simulation that has been actively used in recent years.

The photocyclodimerization of 2-anthracenecarboxylic acid has been extensively studied as a model reaction of asymmetric photochemistry. So far, numerous chiral environments have been employed to control this photoreaction, while the scope of photoreactants has been limited only to 2-anthracenecarboxylic acid and its simple esters and amides. Here, we developed a systematic series of photoreactants (2 a-d) by introducing various substituents to 2-anthracenecarboxylic acid, which showed different reactivities and selectivities depending on the substituents.

Several sulfoxide- and sulfone-bridged β-cyclodextrin (CD) dimers were synthesized for mediating the enantiodifferentiating [4+4] photocyclodimerization of 2-anthracenecarboxylic acid (AC). The complexation behavior of these chiral hosts with AC was investigated by UV-vis, circular dichroism, fluorescence, and NMR spectroscopies and certified the formation of 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 host-guest complexes. The product distribution and enantioselectivity of the photoreaction turned out to be a critical function of the chemical structure of bridged CDs.

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 was inverted from 25.

Article Synopsis
- Tri-cavity hosts were created using one pillar[5]arene (P5) surrounded by two β-cyclodextrins (CDs).
- The study successfully separated diastereomers and showed how stereoselectivity is influenced by the central P5's configuration and the β-CD's positions.
- Photocyclodimerization of 2-anthracenecarboxylate achieved non-classical HT photodimers with an up to 87% enantiomeric excess (ee).
