Why Study Asymmetric Photochemistry?
! Prebiotic photochemistry –– enantiomeric excess of biomolecules may have been
generated by circularly polarized light (CPL)
! Environmentally benign processes –– light requires no workup, generates no waste
! Different mode of reactivity –– access to novel, strained compounds which are
thermally inaccessible or difficult to synthesize

! Generalized Jablonski diagram
• Photochemistry can happen from either S1 or T1 state, but normally T1
• Spin-allowed processes (S to S, T to T) tend to be faster, so T1 is usually longer-lived (kd ~ 0.4 s-1)
• E(T1/S1) ~ 102 kcal/mol for most useful organic photochemistry

Photoresolution using CPL
Sh!, k1
h!, k-1
! enantiomers absorb nonpolarized or linearly polarized light with equal intensity
! enantiomers can absorb circularly polarized light with different intensities; the rate of reaction is proportional to the absorption coefficients ("R and "S)
! a photostationary state (pss) is achieved when k1[R] = k-1[S]
optical purity = ([R]-[S])/([R]+[S]) = g/2
where g = ("R - "S)/"; " = ("R + "s)/2
"R[R] = "S[S]
