Star-shaped aromatic derivatives of bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane with predetermined chirality were synthesized by employing the Suzuki and Sonogashira reactions. The C 3-symmetric trifunctional aromatic derivatives based on the lateral bicyclo[3.3.1]nonene moiety possess unique molecular structures. The chiroptical properties of the star-shaped compounds and the corresponding monomeric derivatives were studied, and the absolute configuration was confirmed by using the empirical octant rule for the carbonyl chromophore and the sector rule for the aromatic chromophore.
