How stereo selectivity in singlet and triplet photocycloaddition and photocyclization reactions, respectively, is linked to spin selectivity and how this link affects our understanding of photochemical reaction mechanisms, is described in this review. As illustrative examples, the Paterno-Buchi reaction and the Norrish-Yang cyclization are described with emphasis on triplet biradical structure and dynamics.

The 4-methylene-1,3-dioxolane(4-MDO) derivatives with dimethoxyphenyl group on the 2-position of 1,3-dioxolane ring, 2-(x,y-dimethoxyphenyl)-4-MDO derivatives (x,y=2,3(1b), 2,4(2b), 2,5(3b) and 3,4(4b)) were prepared by acelalizationof the corresponding benzaldehyde with 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol, followed by dehydrochlorination. 2-(Dimethoxy)phenyl-4-MDO derivatives underwent polymerization wiht ring opening as will as cyclization reaction to afford a mixture of the ring-opened polymer and 3(2H)-dihydrofuranone derivative with boron trifluoride as a cationic catalyst. Both the methylene group and 1,3-dioxolane ring were participated in the reaction with cationic catalyst. The key intermediate of the polymerization is a benzyl cation generated by ring opening, and the cyclization reaction proceed via proton addition to oxygen atom of 1,3-dioxolane ring.

1, 4-Benzodiazepin 5-one was prepared from 2-aminobenzamide derivatives by acid catalyzed intermolecular cyclization. N-Alkylation of 2-aminobenzamide with $\alpha$-bromo acetaldehyde diethylacetal to 2(2', 2'-diethoxyethyl) aminobenzamide (I) and subsequent treatment of I with acid gave 1, 4-benzdiazepin 5-one, where as the acetyl derivatives of I did not react to 1, 4-benzodiazepin 5-one but to methyl 4-quinazolone (IV).

A newly cloned 4-α-glucanotransferase (αGT) from Deinococcus geothermalis and two typical bacterial αGTs from Thermus scotoductus and Escherichia coli (MalQ) were investigated. Among 4 types of catalysis, the cyclization activity of αGTs that produces cycloamylose (CA), a valuable carbohydrate making inclusion complexes, was intensively studied. The new αGT, DgαGT, showed close protein sequence to the αGT from T. scotoductus (TsαGT). MalQ was clearly separated from the other two αGTs in the phylogenetic and the conserved regions analyses. The reaction velocities of disproportionation, cyclization, coupling, and hydrolysis of three αGTs were determined. Intriguingly, MalQ exhibited more than 100-fold lower cyclization activity than the others. To lesser extent, the disproportionation activity of MalQ was relatively low. DgαGT and TsαGT showed similar kinetics results, but TsαGT had nearly 10-fold lower hydrolysis activity than DgαGT. Due to the very low cyclizing activity of MalQ, DgαGT and TsαGT were selected for further analyses. When amylose was treated with DgαGT or TsαGT, CA with a broad DP range was generated immediately. The DP distribution of CA had a bimodal shape (DP 7 and 27 as peaks) for the both enzymes, but larger DPs of CA quickly decreased in the DgαGT. Cyclomaltopentaose, a rare cyclic sugar, was produced at early reaction stage and accumulated as the reactions went on in the both enzymes, but the increase was more profound in the TsαGT. Taken together, we clearly demonstrated the catalytic differences between αGT groups from thermophilic and pathogenic bacteria that and showed that αGTs play different roles depending on their lifestyle.

Synthesis of an optically active azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane skeleton as a backbone of the tropane alkaloids has been achieved by employing intramolecular Mannich reaction. Utilizat ion of (R)-${\alpha}$-methylbenzylamine as a chiral auxiliary provided an excellent cyclization of amino dioxolane precursor. However, this auxiliary did not afford high asymmertic induction for the preparation of the optically active cyclization precursor.
