A novel axially chiral all-hydrocarbon cyclo[7] (1,3-(4,6-dimethyl)benzene ( CDMB-7 ) was designed and synthesized using atroposelective[2 + 5] cyclization through Suzuki-Miyaura coupling. CDMB-7 adopts an irregular bowl-like shape with C 2 symmetry and exhibits two diastereoisomers in its crystallographic structure. The conformational isomers of CDMB-7 racemates remain stable at high temperatures (393 K). High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) confirmed that a single chiral isomer will spontaneously undergo racemization within 30 min at room temperature. This finding opens up possibilities for achieving adaptive chirality in all-hydrocarbon cyclo[7] m-benzene macrocycles.
