Singlet Oxygen Generation

• Photosensitization with Rose-Bengal, Methelene Blue or tetraphenyl porphyrine (TPP) is the preffered method. However, to avoid side-photoreactions, other methods could be used

a) Murray Method: thermal decomposition of ozone-phosphite adducts

b) Thermal decomposition of aromatic endoperoxides

• MO interactions could explain selectivity in some cases

a) HOMO of the perepoxide is a linear combination of the n(O) and σ(C-L)

b) HOMO is antibonding in nature

c) Any substituent that reduces the energy between n(O) and σ(C-L) would increase the antibonding interaction and favore cleavage of the adjucent C-O bond

• Later, Houk and coworkers proposed that the effect above results from the electrostatic repulsion of singlet oxygen and π cloud of the aromatic ring

• Paquette and coworkers pointed out that the experimental results are consistent with anchimeric π-electron density donation to the developing anti-perepoxide

• Mukai proposed that π-orbital distortion arising from the mixing of the isopropylidine π-orbital with a lying σ-orbital is responsible for the effect above

Ene Reaction: Conclusion

• Singlet oxygen ene reaction is one of the highly investigated processes in organic chemistry

• There are certain trends of oxidation ("cis effect", "geminal effect", etc.) that could be used with a to predict the outcome of the ene reaction

• Ene singlet oxigen reaction could be performed diastereo- and enantioselectively although some further advancements in this area is required
