Synthesis and characterization of optically active cyclic 6,6′-dinitro-1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′-diethers
摘要:
A series of racemic and enantiomerically pure 6,6'-dinitro-1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diethers 1 have been synthesized by the nitration of the corresponding cyclic ethers and both the reactivity of nitration and the (chir)optical properties proved to be very sensitive for the chain length of the ether bridge.

Three compounds that bear two axially chiral bridged binaphthyl units were developed as photodynamicchiral dopants for nematic liquid crystals. For compounds with suitable bridge lengths, a change in the dihedral angle induced a switch of the binaphthyl units from the cisoid to the transoid form upon UV irradiation, which led to an inversion of the handedness of the helices.
