- chiral nanographenes. Keywords: chiral nanographene; helicene; racemization barrier; Scholl reaction; single-crystal X-ray diffractometry; Introduction Graphene, an allotrope of carbon, has captured widespread attention since it was first experimentally demonstrated as a monolayer of carbon atoms [1
- determined for the enantiopure helicenes. For compound 12, the racemization barrier was 24.8 kcal mol−1 at 298 K, which provides a racemization half-life (t1/2) of 24.4 h. For compounds 11 and 13, neither racemization nor decomposition was observed by chiral HPLC after heating hexadecane solutions of each
- this helical aza-NG was achieved by introducing a chiral auxiliary reagent at the nitrogen site [40], and the racemization barrier of one enantiomer was measured as 26.2 kcal/mol by monitoring the changes of CD spectra at 60–80 °C. The synthesis started with the Diels−Alder reaction of 5H-dibenzo[b,f

- have been able to obtain boronate–imine complexes 4 with boron as a stable stereogenic center (Scheme 1). Their racemization barrier was measured and the absolute configuration of the isolated enantiomers was determined by a comparison of the measured and calculated CD spectra [18]. In this article, we
- boronate–amine complex 10 on the other hand, the racemization barrier of the latter was determined. For this purpose, a sample of the enantiomerically pure complex 10 was heated in n-decane at 60 °C, and the decay of the optical purity was followed by chiral HPLC. Thus, the racemization rate at 325.4 K was

The corresponding values for boronate–imine complexes 4 varied from 105–110 kJ·mol−1, indicating that the change from the imine to the amine ligand does not alter the configurational stability at boron to any
