BROMINE AUXILIARIES IN PHOTOSYNTHESES OF HELICENES
Liu, Longbin,Katz, Thomas J.
, p. 6831 - 6834 (1991)
Bromine substituents on benzene rings direct photocyclizations away from their ortho positions.This principle prevents helicenes from photocyclizing and methoxyls from photoeliminating.It makes possible the photosynthesis of helicene and of a tetramethoxy-derivative of helicene.
