The chemical and crystallographic requirements for utilizing solid-state photodimertization reactions in the medium of chiral single crystals to realize asymmetric syntheses have been considered. Asymmetric syntheses are possible from a variety of reactions in the monocomponent or two-component crystals which have been considered and in favorable cases quantitative optical yields are anticipated. These principles can be extended to other reactions including the formation of chiral cyclobutane photopolymers.
