A novel asymmetric photodimerization reaction of coumarin derivatives bearing the (<i>S</i>)-4-benzyl-2-oxazolidinone auxiliary provides only the <i>syn</i>-head-to-tail (<i>syn</i>-HT) dimer with moderate diastereoselectivity (up to 75 : 25). The mechanism of complete <i>syn</i>-HT selectivity and moderate diastereoselectivity is proposed based on the result of density functional theory (DFT) calculation. The benzyl group of the (<i>S</i>)-4-benzyl-2-oxazolidinone auxiliary in combination with ...[more]
