“…As a result, we, for the first time, succeeded in the perfect diastereospecific synthesis of the homochiral (all‐ P‐ or all‐ M ) consecutively fused double (ExH‐ S ) and triple (ExH‐ M ) expanded helicenes, which were exclusively produced among a number of diastereomers through quantitative and chemoselective acid‐catalyzed diastereospecific multistep cascade cyclizations of the precursors 2 and 3 even composed of a large number of complicated dynamic stereoisomers, respectively (for a multiple helicene synthesis via the gold(I)‐catalyzed cascade cyclizations with moderate to excellent diastereoselectivities, see refs 63, 69, and 70), without any side reactions, including rearrangements of aryl pendants (Figures 2c(i), (iii), (v), and S1). 54,71 The resulting chemoselectivity may arise from the steric effect of the 2,6‐dimethyl substituents on the 4‐alkoxyphenylethynyl pendants 54 . The incorporated expanded helicene subunits in the DFT‐calculated structures of ( M , M )‐ExH‐ S and ( M , M , M )‐ExH‐ M display similar helically twisted conformations with the angles between the two planes of the rings A and K ( θ AK = 28.5–32.1°) and/or those of G and Q ( θ GQ = 26.4°) (Figure 4) that are also comparable to the angle θ AK ( = 25.0 °) of ( M )‐ExH‐ C in the single crystal (Figure 3a(ii)).…”
