| Recent research in the area of organic photochemistry has increased our understanding of the regio- and stereoselectivity of [2+2] photocycloadditions which result in the formation of 4-member rings. Our work has addressed the possible reasons for the observed selectivity in aryl-substituted [2+2] cycloadditions. Results suggest that pi-pi interactions account for the selectivity. We will discuss the synthesis and photoreactivity of silyl tethered alkenes designed to answer the mechanistic questions that have been raised. |
