Even this simple helical molecule , the benzyl‐protected pentamer 1 , has a few surprises in store. Two independent conformers of 1 with the same absolute configuration are found in the unit cell which demonstrate an unprecedented form of isomerism. The helicity of the oligomeric formaldehyde is definitely a consequence of stereoelectronic effects.
