Abstract
Stereocontrol of planar-type cyclophanes was achieved by crystallization-induced asymmetric transformation in a molten state. Simply heating a 1/1 mixture of the solid and the liquid diastereoisomers of the bridged nicotinamides (S,3′S)-1 and (R,3′S)-2 effected the disequilibriation via rope-skipping isomerization to the solid sides, giving (S,3′S)-1 with up to 99% de.
