Both enantiomers of an optically active trialkynyl(phenyl)methane (the key building blocks in the construction of a stable expanded cubane) have been prepd. The strategy involved the resoln. of a racemic intermediate by means of HPLC on a chiral stationary phase. The abs. configuration of this intermediate was unambiguously assigned by using vibrational CD (VCD) and ORD (ORD), in combination with d. functional theory (DFT) calcns.
