Abstract
On reduction of bis(2-methyl-1-naphthyl) ketone (I) with lithium aluminium hydride alcohol VI was formed which isomerized into alcohol VII. Both alcohols, the configuration of which were proved using 1H-NMR spectra and X-ray diffraction, represent the first example of compounds having a centrum of pseudoassymetry and axial chirality of ligands.
