The stereospecific photochemistry of ten N-aryl-substituted cis- or trans-Δ-1,2,3-triazolines to form the corresponding cis- or trans-aziridines was investigated both in solution and in the solid-state. We found that photochemical reactions in the solid state are more stereospecific than in solution for the 8 crystalline Δ-1,2,3-triazolines. Additionally, triplet sensitization for some triazolines results in triplet biradicals, which provide the more thermodynamically favored trans-aziridine regardless of the starting triazoline stereochemistry. Product analyses as a function of temperature and solvent polarity suggest that the electronic excitation of the Δ-1,2,3-triazolines results in the formation of a 1,3-biradical intermediate.

Heteroarenes are ubiquitous motifs in bioactive molecules, conferring favourable physical properties when compared to their arene counterparts. In particular, semisaturated heteroarenes possess attractive solubility properties and a higher fraction of sp carbons, which can improve binding affinity and specificity. However, these desirable structures remain rare owing to limitations in current synthetic methods.

The formation and the spectroscopic and structural properties of 1:1 and 2:1 (ligand-to-dication) complexes of an (18-crown-6)stilbene with ethane-1,2-diammonium diperchlorate in MeCN were studied by UV-vis and NMR spectroscopy and by density functional theory calculations. Prolonged UV irradiation of 2:1 mixtures of the crown stilbene and the diammonium salt led to the formation of two main photoproducts, namely, the single -"head-to-head" photodimer of the crown stilbene ( cyclobutane) due to supramolecular-assisted [2 + 2] photocycloaddition and a crown ether derivative of phenanthrene due to a photoinduced electrocyclization reaction. The cyclobutane was isolated by preparative photolysis, followed by chromatography.

Geometrical → alkene isomerization is intimately entwined in the historical fabric of organic photochemistry and is enjoying a renaissance (Roth et al. , 1193-1207). This is a consequence of the fundamental stereochemical importance of -alkenes, juxtaposed with frustrations in thermal reactivity that are rooted in microscopic reversibility.

A new efficient method was proposed for the synthesis of (18-crown-6)stilbene; the structure of the product was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. In MeCN, this compound forms pseudodimeric complexes with -(2-ammonioethyl)-4-styrylpyridinium and -(3-ammoniopropyl)-4-styrylpyridinium diperchlorates via hydrogen bonding between the ammonium group and the crown ether oxygen atoms. The ammonioethyl derivative was synthesized for the first time.

We report the synthesis and stereospecific solid-state photodecarbonylation of a hexasubstituted ketone featuring six distinct α-substituents. The photoproduct of the solid-state transformation features vicinal all-carbon quaternary stereocenters. While reactions carried out in bulk powders and aqueous crystalline suspensions were complicated by secondary photochemistry of the primary photoproduct, optimal conditions provided good yields and recyclable starting material.
