Synthesis of configurationally defined sexi- and octinaphthalene derivatives.
[figure: see text] Configurationally defined optically active octinaphthalenes were synthesized using the oxidative coupling of optically active quaternaphthalenes with a 2-hydroxynaphthol moiety as a key reaction. The absolute configuration was determined by comparison with products of [6 + 2] coupling.
