Enantio-, atrop-, and diastereoselective macrolactonization to access type III cyclophanes by Jiaming Wang, Kang Lv, Yilu Wen, Tao Liu, Changgui Zhao

“…Thermodynamic experiments reveal that the presence of an all-carbon quaternary carbon center on the ansa chain significantly increases the rotational barriers of the cyclophanes. Moreover, density functional theory calculations suggest that the chiral substituent shrinks the ansa chain by compressing the bond angle, thereby rendering the conformational rotation reaction more challenging.…”
