An axially chiral 1,2-diketone: 1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)propane-1,2-dione

J. Hartung, K. Spehar, I. Svoboda and H. Fuess

Abstract: The O atom of the distal carbonyl group in 1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)propane-1,2-dione, C₁₁H₁₂O₄, is displaced from the plane that is defined by the proximal C=O double bond and the aromatic entity of the molecule. This arrangement gives rise to a stereogenic C-C axis.
