The alternative approach by Cu-catalyzed, intramolecular [2+ 2] photocycloaddition reactions [5] of open-chain 1, 7-dienes is not viable. When we attempted [2+ 2] photocycloaddition reactions of substrates 1 and 2, there was no indication for the formation of the desired bicyclo [4.2. 0] octane. Apparently Cu-catalyzed photocycloaddition reactions require the coordination of both double bonds to the metal atom,[6] which is feasible only for reactions with 1, 6-dienes leading to bicyclo [3.2. 0] heptanes.We now propose a retrosynthetic concept (Scheme 1) that encompasses an enantiotopos-differentiating ring-opening reaction of substrates such as C (Z= CO) for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure bicyclo [4.2. 0] octanes, represented by structure B. Because tricyclic compound C encompasses both bicyclo [4.2. 0] octane and bicyclo [3.2. 0] heptane structures, it should be accessible by Cu-catalyzed [2+ 2] photocycloaddition reaction of diene D. Herein, we report the successful application of this concept to a specific example. We envisioned an enantioselective Baeyer–Villiger oxidation as the enantiotopos-differentiating reaction,[7] which thus requires a carbonyl group as the functional group Z (Scheme 1, C, Z= CO). The instability of a 1, 3-divinyl-2-cyclopentanone and its undesired photochemical reactions (a-cleavage, oxa-di-p-methane rearrangement) prompted us to incorporate the carbonyl group in protected form (Z= CHOTBDMS, TBDMS= tert-butyldimethylsilyl). Accordingly, we attempted a Cu-catalyzed [2+ 2] photocycloaddition reaction with the readily available [8] diene 3 (Scheme 2). The
