Abstract

Oligo (naphthalene-2, 3-diyl) s are synthesized by the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of 2-naphthylzinc compounds with 2-bromonaphthalene derivatives. An NMR analysis together with an X-ray diffraction study supports the conjecture that the helical secondary structure is a common feature of the assemblies in which naphthalene-like aromatic units are linked together between the β-positions in series.
