(3aR,8aR)-2,2,6,6-Tetramethyl-4,4,8,8-tetraphenyltetrahydro-1,3-dioxolo[4,5-e][1,3,2]dioxasilepine

The title compound, C33H34O4Si, is a dioxasilepine compound, an effective chiral dopant for the determination of high helical twisting powers in liquid crystals. Its structure consists of a five-membered dioxolo ring fused to a seven-membered dioxasilepine ring which contains two sets of phenyl ring...
