Synthesis and Chiroptical Property of Chiral Heteroatom‐Embedded Zigzag‐Type Hydrocarbon Belts

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Herein, the synthesis of diverse chiral O/N‐doped zigzag hydrocarbon belts based on bridging of the fjords of resorcin[4]arene and resorcin[6]arene derivatives with chiral amines through palladium‐catalyzed intermolecular CN bond formation reactions is reported. The resulting nanobelts exhibit unique chiral cavity structures and demonstrate intriguing chiroptical properties. Furthermore, a chiral transfer process from small molecule amines to the hydrocarbon nanobelts, offering new insights for designing and synthesizing novel chiral nanobelts is uncovered.
