The synthesis of cycloalkane derivatives with ring sizes of 5-7 was achieved in moderate yields by photoirradiation of aqueous acetonitrile solutions, containing compounds that consist of active methylene moieties tethered to aryl-substituted alkenes along with sodium hydroxide and 9-cyanophenanthrene. When the substrate contains ethyl cyanoacetate as an asymmetric active methylene moiety, the reaction proceeds in a highly diastereoselective manner.
