During the studies of the unique chiral olefins, (E)-1,1‘,2,2‘,3,3‘,4,4‘-octahydro-4,4‘-biphenanthrylidene (1) and its (Z)-isomer (2), we found the unexpected thermal racemization of cis-olefin 2 at room temperature. The CD spectrum of optically active 2 shows rapid decrease of intensity with the half-life time t1/2 = 1.2 h at room temperature. After the CD Cotton effects vanish, the sample of cis-olefin 2 was checked by HPLC with a chiral stationary phase, and two enantiomers of cis-olefin 2 were detected, but trans-olefin 1 was never detected. The racemization of sterically more-hindered cis-olefin 2 occurs by the direct interconversion between the two enantiomers (M,M)-(Z)-2 and (P,P)-(Z)-2 without formation of trans-olefin 1 as an intermediate. The enantiomeric interconversion between the two enantiomers of 2 was also studied by the 1H NMR magnetization transfer technique. The kinetic values of the enantiomeric interconversion of 2 were obtained by CD and NMR spectroscopic studies and lead to an activ...
