Abstract
Racemic and homochiral valine sulfonamidecinnamic acidscrystallize with components aligned by use of thecomplementary features of hydrogen bonds and moleculartopology to give supramolecular dimers. These discretemotifs effectively organize adjacent olefins for UV initiated10 single-crystal-to-single-crystal [2+2] photodimerizationreactions. The racemic crystals produce inversion relatedcyclobutane products, while the desymmetrized crystallinearchitectures of the homochiral phase promote asymmetricphotodimerization with 90% conversion.
