Abstract

The introduction of a stereogenic center by a stereospecific synthesis into an optically active, donor-acceptor pretzelane, that exhibits helicity as well as fixed chirality, leads to a marked preference for one conformational diastereoisomer over the other in both acetone and dimethylsulfoxide that can be understood from computational models.
