Abstract

AbstractAn asymmetric photoreaction by using chirality provided by dynamic chiral salt formation was demonstrated. Crystallization of racemic 2‐quinolone‐3‐carboxamide and 2‐quinolone‐4‐carboxamide with enantiopure L‐dibenzoyltartaric acid led to deracemization and gave high diastereomeric excess values of the crystalline salts in almost quantitative yield. The axial chirality was retained for a long period of time after the salts were dissolved in cooled solvent. The frozen chirality derived from the chiral salts was effectively transferred to the products by using a typical [2+2] photocycloaddition reaction with alkenes.
