Oxygen atoms of cationic dioxa and azaoxa [6]helicenes can be exchanged by amino groups and these reactions lead to either near racemization (es 3%) or to a remarkable enantiospecificity (es up to 97%). Based on detailed investigations, the chirality transfer of the first transformation can be improved to 61%.
