Unusual [2+2] Photocycloaddition between Tryptamine and 3-Nitrocinnamic Acid in the Solid State

Unusual [2+2] Photocycloaddition between Tryptamine and 3-Nitrocinnamic Acid in the Solid State

A crystalline salt of tryptamine with trans-3-nitrocinnamic acid underwent cross photocycloaddition, leading to a cyclobutane adduct 1. Their solid mixture failed to give 1. This is the first [2+2] photocycloaddition of alkene to “N-unsubstituted” indoles.
