The basics about arynes and their applications in synthetic organic chemistry are briefly presented, and the concept of atropisomerism is defined, highlighting that it is a time-dependent form of isomerism and chirality. It is remembered that racemization is a macroscopic and statistical irreversible process, while enantiomerization is a nanoscopic reversible process that occurs at the molecular scale, with racemization being twice as fast as enantiomerization. The concept of aryne atropisomers is introduced with a naive question: Can synthetically useful nonracemic aryne atropisomers having a triple bond ortho to the stereogenic single bond exist in solution? It was found that such aryne atropisomers can be generated in solution from easily available ortho-iodoaryl triflate precursors and excess trimethylsilylmethylmagnesium chloride. Analysis of the barriers to enantiomerization of some aryne atropisomers by computational modeling revealed the key contribution to the configurational stability of the H atom in tris-ortho-substituted biphenyl-based atropisomers. Using a specially designed prototype of aryne atropisomer, for which the barrier to enantiomerization was accurately evaluated by advanced computational modeling, the kinetic parameters of its reaction with furan were experimentally determined. From these measurements, it was concluded that any aryne atropisomer with a barrier to enantiomerization ΔG_enant^⧧ equal to or higher than 50 kJ mol^–1 would lead to fully enantiospecific reactions. The synthetic applications of two structurally distinct aryne atropisomers built on a 1-phenylnaphthalene platform are described: one has the aryne triple bond embedded in the naphthyl moiety, and the other has the aryne triple bond embedded in the phenyl moiety. Both aryne atropisomers allowed for the fully enantiospecific, and possibly overall enantioselective, syntheses of original atropisomers based on standard aryne chemistry. For instance, reactions with anthracene and perylene afforded triptycene and nanographene atropisomers, respectively, in high enantiomeric excesses. A bis(aryne) atropisomer synthetic equivalent prepared from either enantiomer of BINOL is described for 3D bidirectional reactions with a single handedness. Its 2-fold reactions with anthracene and perylene afforded the corresponding severely congested bis(benzotriptycene) (99% ee) nanocarbon atropisomer and bis(anthra[1,2,3,4-ghi]perylene) (98% ee) nanographene atropisomer, respectively. This allowed the discovery of bis(twistacene) atropisomers as a new class of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) with multiple stereogenicities. Cross reactions with the bis(aryne) atropisomer synthetic equivalent and two different arynophiles proved feasible, providing a nanographene atropisomer with a benzotriptycene unit and an anthra[1,2,3,4-ghi]perylene unit assembled around a stereogenic axis as a unique chiral PAH (99% ee). Overall, because the concept is simple and its implementation is easy, aryne atropisomers is an attractive approach to the synthesis of atropisomers in a broad meaning. Applications to the synthesis of large PAH atropisomers with single handedness are particularly promising.

芳炔阻转异构体：手性芳炔用于阻转异构体和纳米石墨烯阻转异构体的对映特异性合成
