Chiral molecules without measurable optical rotation are rare. In the case of the enantiomers (1a) and (1b) , which were synthesized as potential new examples, the prediction of negligible optical rotation proved to be false. The rotations of ca. −30 and +27° could be due to the twisted chair form of the rings.
