3,14-Dihydroxy[6]helicene 4 was prepared, in a good yield, through a 4 + 1 approach involving the Mizoroki-Heck coupling reaction followed by oxidative photodehydrocylisation. Resolution of this racemic helicenediol was performed by HPLC on a chiral stationary phase, providing both enantiomers (-)- and (+)-4 with high optical purity. The absolute configurations of (-)- and (+)-4 were assigned as M and P, respectively, by means of circular dichroism spectroscopy. To cite this article: E Aloui et at., C R. Chimie 12 (2009).
