Systematically designed oxazolidinone-derived enecarbamates reveal that solvent and temperature effects on the stereoselectivity during photooxygenation are likely due to the conformational flexibility of the chiral phenethyl side chain (entropy factors); the extent of enantiomeric excess in the photoproduct is dictated by the alkene geometry.
