27. CD spectra in chloroform are not shown.
28. The spectra of (R)-1 have been multiplied by (-1) for a more direct comparison with the spectra of 10 and 12. It has been demonstrated that the use of (S)-binaphthol in the synthesis of (S)-1 (n = 6) affords CD spectra identical and opposite to those of (R)-1 (n = 6, see ref 7).
29. Monte Carlo searches were performed using Macromodel 5.5 and the OPLS* GB/SA force field.
