Résumé : 1-Formyl[6]helicene tosylhydrazone (1a) heated in benzene solution in the presence of NaH gave a carbene insertion product, whose structure (2) was determined by 1H and 13C-NMR spectroscopy and fully confirmed by an X-ray diffraction study carried out by A. Van Meerssche et al. The resolution of the new hydrocarbon (2) has been achieved by hplc, using a silica-gel column impregnated with (-)TAPA. © 1977.
