Abstract

Intramolecular [2+2] photocycloaddition of a dimeric vinylpyridine 1 through a singlet‐excited species efficiently formed the corresponding syn‐ and anti‐pyridinophanes 2 and 3. The syn‐isomers were elucidated spectroscopically and by X‐ray crystallography as exo,syn‐configured. The high selectivity under formation of exo,syn2 was thoroughly investigated. Consequently, an exo‐outstretching effect, which is observed around the periphery of a face‐to‐face‐oriented system between two aromatic nuclei as a transition state, on cyclobutane ring formation was discovered for the first time.
