Photochemical dimerizations constitute a relatively simple but important class of bimolecular reactions. Nature produces several classes of dimeric natural products, some of which appear to be arise from radical or excited-state coupling reactions that could be photochemically initiated. This review focuses on natural products syntheses that exploit these photochemical dimerization reactions; selected total syntheses are discussed as examples, with particular attention given to the photochemical key step and its stereoselectivity.
光化学二聚反应构成了一类相对简单但重要的双分子反应。自然界产生了几类二聚体天然产物,其中一些似乎源于可能由光化学引发的自由基或激发态偶联反应。本综述重点关注利用这些光化学二聚反应的天然产物合成;以选定的全合成作为例子进行讨论,特别关注光化学关键步骤及其立体选择性。
