Photochromism of Fulgides Possessing Chiral Properties
A thermally irreversible photochromic fulgide was resolved into enantiomers. A fulgide derivative that has the binaphthol moiety showed diastereoselective photochromic reactions. The change of chiral properties of these molecules by photochromic reactions were examined.
