title: Asymmetric [2+2] photocycloaddition of cycloalkenone-cyclodextrin complexes to ethylene.
abstract: The enantioselective [2+2] photocycloaddition of cycloalkenone-cyclodextrin complexes to ethylene was examined. Photoreaction of alpha-, beta-, and gamma-cyclodextrin complexes of various cyclohexenonecarboxylates and cyclopentenonecarboxylates in the presence of ethylene in the solid state or in aqueous suspension gave corresponding photocycloadducts with chiral induction.
