Abstract
The confined spaces of zeolites have been found to be ideal for carrying out enantio- and diastereo-selective photoreactions. Four methods, (chiral inductor, chiral auxiliary, a combination (chiral inductor + chiral auxiliary) and chiral inductor as a reagent) have been explored and all were found to give reasonable chiral induction on several systems. The uniqueness of zeolites as media although established in this study, the factors that control the high chiral induction in zeolite with respect to solution are yet to be established.
