Abstract

Irradiation of cyclohexyl phenyl ketone (1) results in either intra- or intermolecular hydrogen abstraction to afford compounds 1-phenylhept-6-en-1-one (2) and α-cyclohexyl benzyl alcohol (3) as photoproducts, in which 3 has a pair of enantiomers. Herein, two types of chiral hexagonal liquid crystals were prepared to direct the enantioselective photochemical reaction of 1. One of the hexagonal liquid crystals is composed of 1-tetradecyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide/p-xylene/H2O with the modification by a chiral inductor. The other one is formed by chiral (S)-3-hexadecyl-1-(1-hydroxy-propan-2-yl)-imidazolium bromide/p-xylene/H2O. The product analysis shows that the latter one can be used as a microreactor to achieve stereoselective photochemical reaction, while the former one produced compound 3 with no enantioselectivity at all.
