Question
Chapter 15, Problem 63P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The existence of enantiomeric forms of the given compound is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Enantiomers are a pair of compounds which are non-superimposable mirror images of each other.
The compounds having plane of symmetry do not exhibit enantiomeric forms.
.Enantiomers are pairs of stereoisomers that are chiral.
Chirality is a tetrahedral coordination of four different groups about a central atom.

Hexahelicene seems a poor candidate for optical activity because all its carbon atomsare sp2hybrids and presumably flat. Nevertheless, hexahelicene has been synthesized and separated into enantiomers. Its optical rotation is enormous: [a]D = 3700°.Explain why hexahelicene is optically active, and speculate as to why the rotation isso large
