AI Article Synopsis
- The oxidation of 2-hydroxy-9,10-dialkynylanthracenes leads to a selective dimerization, producing metastable 1,4-diketones instead of stable aromatic diols.
- The resulting 1,4-diketones can be transformed into oxahelicenes.
- These oxahelicenes show strong fluorescence in both solution and solid forms, along with notable chiroptical properties.
Article Abstract
Oxidation of 2-hydroxy-9,10-dialkynylanthracenes resulted in highly regioselective dimerization to furnish metastable dearomatized 1,4-diketones rather than stable aromatic diols. The 1,4-diketones were converted to oxahelicenes, which exhibited strong fluorescence both in solution and solid state as well as chiroptical properties.
