Enantioselective gold(<scp>i</scp>)-catalysed alkyne hydroarylations for inherently chiral calix[4]arenes
We report enantioselective gold(I)-catalysed hydroarylation of alkynes to access inherently chiral calix[4]arenes. This method delivered a family of macrocycles, embedded with phenanthrene motifs, with good yields and enantioselectivities. Investigations of the photophysical and chiroptical properties revealed interesting fluorescence features, suggesting potential applications in materials science and devices.
