Using a bottom-up method, we prepared a series of oligonaphthofurans composed of alternating naphthalene rings and furan rings. The largest compound (compound 25) contained 8 naphthalene units and 7 furan units. DFT calculations revealed that these compounds were fan-shaped molecules and each naphthalene ring was oriented in an alternate mountain-valley fold conformation because of steric repulsion by the hydrogens at the peri-positions. We investigated the optical properties that derived from their fan-shaped and mountain-valley sequences. As the number of aromatic rings of the oligonaphthofurans increased, the peaks of the longest wavelength absorptions in the UV-vis spectra (HOMO-LUMO energy gap) of these compounds steadily red-shifted, although the shapes of spectra were not sustained because of the decreasing molar absorption coefficients (εs) of their λmax. We compared our results with those reported for other types of oligoaromatic compounds such as acenes 1, ethene-bridged p-phenylenes 2, rylenes 3, oligofurans 4, and oligonaphthalenes 5. The slopes of the plots between the transition energies (HOMO-LUMO energy gap) of the oligoaromatic compounds and the reciprocal of the number of aromatic rings indicated that the efficiency of π conjugation of the oligonaphthofurans was comparable with that of linear and rigid acenes and rylenes. The higher-order compounds 22 and 25 aggregated even under high dilution conditions (~10-6 M).

We report on the synthesis of C3-symmetric enantiopure cage molecules 1, which exhibit remarkable to exclusive enantioselective recognition properties toward chiral ammonium neurotransmitters. Strong changes in the substrate selectivity are als

The configurational stability of the chiral silicon center in Lewis base-stabilized silyliums has been studied. Complete retention of configuration at silicon is observed at low temperature in silylium ions stabilized by lone-pair interactions. In contras

A facile synthesis of carbo- and heterohelicenes was achieved via tandem cycloaromatization of bisacetal precursors, which were readily prepared through C-C bond formation by Suzuki-Miyaura coupling. This cyclization was efficiently realized by a catalytic amount of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TfOH) in a cation-stabilizing solvent, 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropan-2-ol (HFIP), which readily allowed gram-scale syntheses of higher-order helicenes, double helical helicenes, and heterohelicenes.

Experiments show that 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) undergoes facile C1-C1′ bond cleavage under action of triflic acid at temperatures above 0 °C to give mainly 2-naphthol along with oligomeric material. CASSCF and MRMP//CASSCF computations have demonstrated unambiguously that this unusual mode of scission of the biaryl bond can occur in the C1,C1′-diprotonated form of BINOL via a mechanism involving homolytic cleavage prompted by the intramolecular electrostatic repulsion. These findings also provide insights into the mechanism of a comparatively easy thermal cleavage of BINOL, implying the intermediacy of its neutral diketo form.
