Description
Summary:We have developed an efficient chemical resolution of racemic hydroxy substituted dithia-aza[4]helicenes (DTA[4]H) <b>1(OH)</b> using enantiopure acids as resolving agents. The better diastereomeric separation was achieved on esters prepared with (1<i>S</i>)-(−)-camphanic acid. Subsequent simple manipulations produced highly optically pure (≥ 99% enantiomeric excess) (<i>P</i>) and (<i>M</i>)-<b>1(OH)</b> in good yields. The role of the position where the chiral auxiliary is inserted (<i>cape</i>- vs. <i>bay-zone</i>) and the structure of the enantiopure acid used on successful resolution are discussed.
