(matrix presented) The properties of the self-assembling aziadamantane inclusion complex with two α-cyclodextrin molecules have been exploited to perform a chemospecific monofunctionalization of α-cyclodextrin. The insertion of the photochemically generated carbenes takes place chemospecifically into the cyclodextrin's C-3-OH and C-2-OH bonds in 39 and 18% yield, respectively. This model reaction surpasses conventional methods in terms of yield as well as selectivity.

Photochemical reactivity of pentacycloundecane (PCU) and adamantane diazirines was investigated by preparative irradiation in different solvents, laser flash photolysis (LFP) and quantum chemical computations. In addition, formation of inclusion complexes for diazirines with cucurbit[7]uril, β- and γ-cyclodextrin (β- and γ-CD) was investigated by 1H NMR spectroscopy, isothermal microcalorimetry and circular dichroism spectroscopy, followed by the investigation of photochemical reactivity of the formed complexes. Diazirines undergo efficient photochemical elimination of nitrogen (ΦR > 0.5) and deliver the corresponding singlet carbenes. Singlet carbenes react in intra- and intermolecular reactions and we found a rare singlet carbene pathway in CH3OH involving protonation and formation of a carbocation, detected due to the specific rearrangement of the pentacycloundecane skeleton. Singlet diazirines undergo intersystem crossing and deliver triplet carbenes that react with oxygen to form ketones which were isolated after irradiation. Our main finding is that the formation of diazirine inclusion complexes with β-CD and γ-CD changes the relative ratio of singlet vs. triplet pathways, with singlet carbene products being dominant from the chemistry of the irradiated complexes. Our combined theoretical and experimental studies provide new insights into the supramolecular control of carbene reactivity which has possible applications for the control of product distribution by solvent effects and the choice of constrained media.
Photochemistry of alkyl halides. 12. Bromides vs Iodides

Conditions have been developed for optimizing ionic photobehavior material balances from alkyl bromides. Hydroxide ion as an efficient for the byproduct HBr while giving minimal competing photoreduction via electron transfer to the alkyl bomide. The photobehavior of bromides 1, 11, 25, and 40 has examined and with that of the corresponding iodides 2, 12, 26, 41 under conditions. In each case, the bromide higher yields of products derived from out of cage radical intermidiates than the corresponding iodide. However, with the 2-norbornyl bromides 11 and iodides 12 showed that, of products not formed from the out of cage 2-norbornyl radical 13, the bromides 11 gave a higher percentage of products from the ionic intermediates 15 and 16 than did the iodides. Thus, electron transfer within the radical pair 14 is apparently more rapid for bromides than iodides, as expected on the of the relative electronegativities of bromine iodine. It is that the substantially higher yields of out of radical products from alkyl bromides may be due in to formation of the radical pair with greater excess energy, which results in more rapid escape from the cage. The epimeric 2-norbornyl bromides 11x and 11n underwent no detectable interconversion and afforded somewhat different product ratios. The more hindered epimer 11n underwent conversion to products at a slower than 11x. By contrast, 12x and 12n underwent substantial interconversion via out of transfer of an iodine atom from iodide 12 to radical 13. Epimerization was significantly attenuated in the more viscous solvent tert-butyl alcohol.
