Abstract

After a brief introduction and summary of various methods of asymmetric induction in organic photochemistry, the main part of the review covers the solid-state ionic chiral auxiliary approach to asymmetric photochemical synthesis. Application of this technique to the Norrish type II reaction, as well as to the di-μ-methane and oxa-di-μ-methane photorearrangements, and the cis,trans-photoisomerization of diarylcyclopropane derivatives is presented and discussed.
