Abstract: We employed (R)- and (S)-2,2'-diethynyl-1,1'-binaphthyl with a highly stable chirality as the structural blocks and investigated the synthesis of two topologically interesting tetrabinaphthyl cage compounds (R,R,R,R)-2 and (S,S,S,S)-2 via the multi steps reactions including the introduction of protecting group, linking of benzene-bridge, removal of protecting group as well as intermolecular cross-coupling. As expected, the results from MS, IR, UV-Vis, 1H, 13CNMR, elemental analysis and optical properties indicate that this method is very effective for obtaining compound 2 in enantiomer form. The enantiomer relation of the two isomers was reflected unambiguously by their circular dichroism(CD) spectra with exact mirror images and specific rotations [α]D data.
