Efficient and selective inter-and intramolecular photoreactions of guest compounds in their inclusion complexes with a host compound have long been studied.[1] We reported that photoirradiation of a 1: 2 inclusion complex of 5-methyl-(1a) and 5-chloro-2-pyridone (1b) with a 2, 2’-biphenyldicarboxylic acid host (2) gives the corresponding rac-cis-anti dimer 3a and 3b, respectively.[2, 3] These [2+ 2] photodimerization reactions of 2-pyridone derivatives are important as models for DNA damage; this damage occurs by photodimerization of the thymine component of DNA, which is the cause of skin cancer. We also reported [4+ 4] photodimerizations of 2-pyridone itself (1c) and 1b in their inclusion complexes with 2 and a 1, 2, 4, 5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid host (4), respectively, which give the rac-trans-anti dimer 5c and the meso-cissyn dimer 6b, respectively.[3, 4] X-ray analyses of these inclusion complexes showed that the 2-pyridone molecules are ordered at reasonable positions for the corresponding photodimerization reactions in all cases.[2–4] In some cases, however, the guest molecules are not located at appropriate positions for a photodimerization. Schmidt s rule states that for efficient photodimerization in the solid state, two olefin molecules should be arranged parallel and closer than 4.2 in the crystal.[5] Nevertheless, we found that a photochemically unreactive molecular aggregate of 1a in an inclusion complex with a 1, 3, 5-benzenetricarboxylic acid host (7) can be transformed in the solid state into a reactive aggregate by heating or by contact with MeCN vapor. The mechanism of this novel phase transition was clarified by X-ray analysis. A 1: 1: 1 inclusion complex (8) of 7, 1a, and MeOH, which was prepared as colorless crystals by recrystallization of 7 and 1a from MeOH, was inert to photoirradiation. Very interestingly, however, the crystal of 8 was transformed by heating or by contact with MeCN vapor into a reactive powder of 9, the solid-state photoirradiation of which gave the meso-cis-syn [4+ 4] dimer 6a (Scheme 1). This is the first report of a phase transition in the solid state from photochemically unreactive molecular aggregate into a reactive aggregate caused by heating or contact with solvent vapor. The phase transition of 8 into 9 did not occur by contact with vapor of EtCN, PhCN, tetrahydrofuran, acetone, CH2Cl2, CHCl3, or n-hexane. This is an interesting example of a solvent effect in the solid state. A similar solvent effect was reported for a solid-state reaction that was accelerated in the presence of a small amount of solvent vapor.[6] Since 6a is thermally labile and can be converted easily into the meso-cis-syn [2+ 2] dimer 11, 6a was isolated as its stable 1: 1: 1 inclusion complex 10 consisting of 7, 6a, and H2O, which was prepared by recrystallization of the photoirradiated powder of 9 from MeOH. The structure of 6a was elucidated by comparison of its IR and 1H NMR spectra with those of 6b.[3] The structure of 6a was finally confirmed by X-ray analysis of 10 (Figure 1). However, the simulated powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) pattern of 10 was different from that of photoirradiated powder of 9 (see the Supporting Information). Heating of the thermally labile 6a as 10 in CD3COOD at 708C for 2 h gave 11 in quantitative yield. The structure of 11 was elucidated by comparison of its 1H and 13C NMR spectra with those of 3a.[2, 3] The meso-cis-syn dimer 11 is the first example of a [2+ 2] photodimer of 2-pyridone that has a cis-syn configuration. Compound 11 has the same configuration as that of the thymine dimer produced by photodimerization of the thymine component of a nucleotide in DNA.[7]To know the mechanism of the unreactive …
