TY - JOUR A1 - Wessig, Pablo A1 - Pick, Charlotte T1 - Photochemical synthesis and properties of axially chiral naphthylpyridines JF - Journal of photochemistry and photobiology : A, Chemistry N2 - Five alkynyl pyridines were prepared and cyclized to naphthylpyridines as the main products in the course of a Photo-Dehydro-Diels-Alder reaction. Four of the final products are axially chiral and the determination of the rotational barrier by DFT calculations, dynamic NMR and H PLC experiments is demonstrated. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.

It is based on asymmetric induction of the newly formed chirality axis by a chirality center, which is present in the two synthesized DDA reactants. Depending on the different length of the linkers joining the alkyne moieties the DDA reaction may be triggered photochemically or thermally, where only the thermal variant was stereoselective.
