Expanded helicenes are large, structurally flexible pi-frameworks that can be viewed as building blocks for more complex chiral nanocarbons. Here we report a gram-scale synthesis of an alkyne-functionalized expanded [11]helicene and its single-step transformation into two structurally and functionally distinct types of macrocyclic derivatives: (1) a figure-eight dimer via alkyne metathesis (also gram scale) and (2) two arylene-bridged expanded helicenes via Zr-mediated, formal [2+2+n] cycloadditions. The phenylene-bridged helicene displays a substantially higher enantiomerization barrier (22.1 kcal/mol) than its helicene precursor (
