title: Synthesis and chiroptical properties of ferrocene-[4]-helicenequinones: kinetic resolution of a planar-chiral diene.
abstract: Both enantiomers of ferrocene [4]-helicenequinone 6, showing planar and helical chiralities, have been synthesized with very high optical purities using, as the key step, a kinetic resolution process between planar-chiral racemic ferrocene diene 2 and enantiopure sulfinyl benzoquinone (S)-3.
