Cucurbit[7]uril (CB7), a supramolecular host, is employed to control the pathway of photolysis of an aryl azide in an aqueous medium. Normally, photolysis of aryl azides in bulk water culminates predominantly in the formation of azepine derivatives via intramolecular rearrangement. Remarkably, however, when this process unfolds within the protective confinement of the CB7 cavity, it results in a carboline...
Photolysis
Photolysis is a key method for approaching to a more functional system in chemical biology. However, the photoreaction of aryl azides usually leads to various products. In article number 2307318, Frank Biedermann, Stefan Bräse, and co‐workers presented a novel method to steer the photoreaction of the aryl azide pathway forming a phosphorescent carboline by reacting in the supramolecular...
