Conformational switching between diastereoisomeric atropisomers of arenedicarboxamides induced by complexation with Lewis acids

Abstract

Tertiary diamides of xanthene-1,8-dicarboxylic acid and biphenyl-2,2′-dicarboxylic acid exhibit a thermodynamic preference for anti stereochemistry which is inverted in the presence of Ti- or Sn-based Lewis acids, allowing interconversion between kinetically stable syn and anti diastereoisomeric atropisomers.
