Stereoselective photoinduced electron transfer reaction

To perform a highly stereoselective photoinduced electron transfer reaction, we need an optically pure photosensitizer and a substrate that do not cause photo-induced racemization. In addition, we need the substrate of which the self-exchange reaction occurs slowly or does not occur. If not, the stereoselectivity disappears, as was mentioned above. 

In this chapter, we will discuss what type of chiral photosensitizer is applied to stereoselective photoinduced electron transfer reaction, what type of substrate is used, and what type of chiral functional group is introduced to these compounds to construct a chiral photosensitizer. We will describe also the stereoselective photocatalytic reactions.

The combined systems of the photosensitizer with micelle, LB film, protein, and so on are interesting, because we can expect that new functions will be found in such systems. In some pioneering works, such ideas were applied to stereoselective photoinduced electron transfer reactions. We believe that one can construct the new photoreaction with such combined systems and also expect the enhancement of stereoselectivity in such systems.
