Simplified Nomenclature and Projection Diagrams of Chiral Cubane Analogs
John L. Krstenansky
Abstract:A simplified nomenclature for chiral cubane analogs is
proposed
where analogs with a clockwise systematic continuous numbering of
the cubane core are designated as (
C
)-, and analogs
with an anticlockwise continuous numbering of the cubane core are
designated as (
A
)-. This method is accurate, allows
for the rapid conversion of the chemical name to a structure, and
it eliminates the need to designate the stereochemistry of each of
the 8 carbons of cubane.
