A step toward polytwistane: synthesis and characterization of C2-symmetric tritwistane.
Twistane is a classic hydrocarbon with fascinating stereochemical properties. Herein we describe a series of oligomers of twistane that converges on a chiral nanorod, which we term polytwistane. A member of this series, C2-symmetric tritwistane, has been synthesized for the first time.
