title: Electrostatic manipulation of enantiodifferentiating photocyclodimerization of 2-anthracenecarboxylate within gamma-cyclodextrin cavity through chemical modification. inverted product distribution and enhanced enantioselectivity.
abstract: In the enantiodifferentiating supramolecular photocyclodimerization of 2-anthracenecarboxylate using gamma-cyclodextrin with a dicationic side chain, a dramatic switching of the product selectivity and a significant enhancement of the enantiomeric excess were achieved by introducing a flexible dicationic sidearm to native gamma-cyclodextrin and also by lowering the temperature and solvent polarity.
