An enantiopure cyclophane-type imidazole with no central but planar chirality.
An enantiopure cyclophane-type imidazole with planar chirality was synthesized, which was expected to serve as a useful component for the development of novel chiral molecular devices, such as ligands, organocatalysts, and receptors.
