The enantioselective folding of a planar nanographene layer is achieved in three steps: introduction of chiral information, enantiospecific ring closing with the removal of oxygen atoms and an enantiospecific Scholl reaction. The Scholl reaction introduces a helical bend in an all-carbon bilayer nanographene.
