Enantiopure 1,1':4',1 ''-ternaphthalene compounds were synthesized via
enantioresolution of 1,1':4', 1 ''-ternaphthalene-2,2 ''-dimethanol (
2) by the chiral phthalic acid amide method. The CD spectra of chiral
1,1':4', 1 ''-ternaphthalene compounds synthesized showed typical inte
nse exciton split Cn Cotton effects, from which the absolute stereoche
mistry of these 1,1':4', 1 ''-ternaphthalene compounds was unambiguous
ly determined by the CD exciton chirality method. (C) 1997 Wiley-Liss,
