Design and Application of Solid State Reaction Center

Abstract

In expectation of designing new selective reaction centers, we prepared the host-guest inclusions in which molecular recognitions occur precisely and reactions of the guest proceed selectively in the solid state.Various simple orgainc compounds were found to include a wide variety of guest compounds, and not only photochemical but also usual organic reactions proceeded efficiently and selectively in the inclusion compounds in the solid state.We also found that inclusion complexation occurs in the solid state.Surprisingly, even enantioselective complexation occurred in the solid state. © 1990, The Society of Synthetic Organic Chemistry, Japan.
