Enantiopure Turbo Chirality Targets in Tri-Propeller Blades: Design, Asymmetric Synthesis, and Computational Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Enantiopure turbo chirality in small organic molecules, without other chiral elements, is a fascinating topic that has garnered significant interest within the chemical and materials science community. However, further research into and application of this concept have been severely limited by the lack of effective asymmetric tools. To date, only a few enantiomers of turbo chiral targets have been isolated, and these were obtained through physical separation using chiral HPLC, typically on milligram scales. In this work, we report the first asymmetric approach to enantiopure turbo chirality in the absence of other chiral elements such as central and axial chirality. This is demonstrated by assembling aromatic phosphine oxides, where three propeller-like groups are anchored to a P(O) center
