Abstract

The conformational properties of intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded dendrimers constructed from (S)-1, 1'-bi-2-naphthol as a chiral central core are described. Circular dichroism studies revealed that chirality transfer to the periphery occurs only when sterically demanding terminal esters are employed and when packing interactions are present.
