Abstract

Three novel azatwistarenes 5a, 8, and 13 have been synthesized via the Povarov reaction and fully characterized. All of the enantiomers were separated using chiral high-performance liquid chromatography, and their optical properties were investigated through circular dichroism and circularly polarized luminescence spectra. In addition, such desired azatwistarenes have a positive response to acid in dichloromethane.
