Abstract

Abstract: A series of 1-substituted indans has been prepared in known absolute configuration. Multiple Cotton effects are shown in the region 250-275 mg, corresponding in fine structure to the lLb absorptions bands, notably when the 1 substituent has a positive charge or can hydrogen bond to the nucleus. The dispersion curves of the indans are essentially enantiomeric to those of the corresponding a-phenylethyl compounds of the ...
