The possible application in synthesis of a micellar solution as a medium in the photocycloaddition of enones to alkenes has been examined. It is found that the micelles are useful in increasing the effective concentration of reactants, have some ability in directing reaction regiochemistry, and may reduce hydrogen atom transfer in intermediate biradicals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
