Significance
Ten naphthalenophanes 2 were prepared constructing the naphthalene core via photo-dehydro-Diels-Alder cycloaddition under mild conditions (λexc > 300 nm). The substrates (bis-ynones 1) are readily accessible in good yields via esterification, Sonogashira coupling, and oxidation, starting with the appropriate aryl iodides and 3-butyn-2-ol. The resulting naphthalenophanes are axially chiral and the enantiomers can be separated via chiral HPLC.
