Abstract

Abstract: The absolute stereochemistry of hexahelicene (1) has been determined from an X- ray study of optically active 2-bromohexahelicene (2). Levorotatory 2-bromohexahelicene (2a) with a left-handed chirality was converted to levorotatory hexahelicene (la). Thus (-)- hexahelicene (la) also has a left-handed helical configuration. exahelicene (1= la+ lb) was first synthesized5 H and resol~ ed~~~ by Newman and Lednicer. Moscowitz later ...
