Chiral photochemistry is an intrinsically difficult task, because this implies controlling the shortlived, weakly interacting and highly reactive species such as an electronically excited state. A welcome example, that has been tagged dual-chiral, dual-supramolecular photochirogenesis approach, has been applied to the [4 - - 4] photocyclodimerization of 2-anthracenecarboxylate tethered to an R-cyclodextrin scaffold. The reaction was accelerated by a y-cyclodextrin or cucurbit[8]uril host and gave a single enantiomeric cyclodimer (out of four) in up to 98% chemical and 99% optical yield." ...
