64. One of the advantages of designing one's own synthetic target, rather than undertaking the synthesis of a natural product, is that an otherwise extraneous methyl group can always be added to block a side reaction. The disadvantage of designing the target is that, unlike natural products synthesis, it creates a situation of double jeopardy: not only does the synthesis have to succeed, but so must the design; otherwise there is little to show for the effort.

70. An example of this type of shielding can be seen not only in the atropisomers themselves, but also by comparing the 'H NMR spectrum of the unwanted photocyclization byproduct 48 with any of the three atropisomers of 6. The spectra of atropisomers 6a, 6b, and 6c all show peaks for triptycene protons upfield of 6.0 ppm. In contrast, the 'H NMR spectrum of 48 shows no peaks for .aromatic protons, triptycene or otherwise, upfield of 7.00 ppm.

73. Although we discuss the results in terms of a single enantiomer of 6a, strictly speaking, the experiment was actually conducted on racemic material. Since enantiomers in an achiral environment give identical NMR spectra, carrying out the measurement on a single enantiomer would not have increased the information generated by the experiment and, therefore, would not have warranted the investment of effort required to develop a resolution of 6a.
