Isolation of a nearly eclipsed chiral rotamer of 1,2-dichloroethane as an inclusion crystal with a chiral host compound

Abstract

A nearly eclipsed chiral rotamer of 1,2-dichloroethane has been isolated in a pure state as an inclusion complex crystal with the chiral host compound, (S)-(-)-2-bromo-3,3a,8-triphenyl-1,3a-dihydrocyclopenta[ a]inden-1-one and an X-ray crystal structure of the complex has been studied.
