| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have designed and synthesized a series of novel chiral photoswitch having a hexatriene structure in which an ethenyl group is introduced into the axially asymmetric binaphthyl skeleton. These compounds showed thermally reversible photochromism between hexatriene and cyclohexadiene. The original helix of the hexatriene structure was maintained in the process of ring-closing reaction by ultraviolet light and subsequent ring-opening reaction by heat, while helix-inverted hexatriene was generated at a certain ratio in ring-opening reaction by visible light. Different chiral selectivity was admitted between the photoreaction and thermal reaction.
