Popis: [reaction: see text] Nanosized particles of modified silica with 3-ammoniumpropyl residue have been prepared and successfully used as microreactors to control the regioselectivity of the photocycloaddition of five 9-substituted anthracences [AnCH(2)N(+)(CH(3))(3)Br(-) (1), AnCH(2)COO(-)Na(+) (2), AnCH(2)CH(2)COOH (3), AnCH(2)OH (4), AnCH(3) (5), where An = 9-anthryl]. While the photocycloaddition of the five substrates in methanol mainly gave rise to their head-to-tail (h-t) photocyclomers, irradiation of 1-4 incorporated in the suspension of the modified silica in methanol almost exclusively yielded the head-to-head (h-h) photocyclomers with high quantum yields.
