Abstract

Certain derivatives of hexaisopropylbenzene (hib) may exist as achiral diastereomers which are distinguished by the sense of directionality of the isopropyl C-H methine vectors and which, though devoid of conventional stereocenters, are conceptually related to the achiral 2,3,4-trihydroxyglutaric acid diastereomers.1 We now report the first synthesis of such stereoisomers.
