title: The determination of the absolute configuration of a chiral 2,3'-diindolylarylmethane by NMR spectroscopy.
abstract: We present the determination of the absolute configuration of a chiral 2,3'-diindolylarylmethane 1 by using the combination of NMR spectroscopic and circular dichroism techniques. The results would be useful for the future study of the effect of chirality on the biological activity of 2,3'-diindolylarylmethanes.
