Triplet photosensitization of myrcene and some dienes within zeolite Y through heavy atom effect

Myrecene undergoes successful triplet photosensitization within zeolite Y microreactor exchanged with K+, Cs+ and Tl+ heavy cations. Norbornadiene, 5,5-diphenyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene and dicyclopentadiene under the same conditions afford the corresponding triplet products with higher yields and improved diastereoselectivity.
