Abstract
Thiabridged [5]helicenes are obtained from thioaryl-N-phthalimido benzo[a]phenothiazines using a hydrogen bond donor/Lewis base organocatalytic approach. Resolution of [5]helicenes using either (1S)-(−)-camphanic acid as a chiral auxiliary or CSP-HPLC is reported. Thiabridged [5]helicenes show an exceptional configurational stability with racemization energy barriers higher than 40 kcal mol−1. Electronic circular dichroism and TD-DFT calculations permit the assignment of the absolute configuration, demonstrating that the sign of optical rotation is not easily related to the M or P structure. Separated enantiomers show circularly polarized luminescence with high dissymmetry ratio.
