Abstract

Zden6k Arnold* and Milo; Bud&nskj, Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry, Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, 166 10 Prague 6, Czechoslovakia ... We report spectroscopic proof that the compound formed from two molecules of triformylmethane (1) by extrusion of one molecule water, and described earlier' as 2,6-diformyl-Coxa-2,5-heptadienedial (2), possesses a bi- cyclic propeller-like structure 3 and exhibits axial chirality. The simplest trialdehyde, ...
