Abstract

The vinylglycine-derived N-cinnamyl-N-allyl carbamates 1, 4 and 7 were prepared and their sensitized intramolecular [2+2]-photocycloaddition to the exo-products 2, 5 and 6 was studied (53-77% yield). Perfect facial diastereoselection (d.r. = >95/5) was observed in the photocycloaddition of the rigid oxazolidinone 4 and of the conformationally fixed acyclic carbamate 7.
