A rotational barrier study was performed on eight tertiary biaryl 2-amides using variable-temperature (VT) NMR and exchange (EXSY) spectroscopy experiments. Seven out of the eight 2-amido-2′-methylbiphenyls with additional 3- and 6-substitution patterns (1-7) were found to have approximately similar rotational barriers (ΔG?Tc = 56.5-67.5 kJ/mol). However, for both 3- and 6-substitution (8), the rotational barrier was found to be significantly higher (ΔG? = 102.6-103.8 kJ/mol). Computational studies performed on all eight compounds gave results in good agreement with the experimental rotational barriers. A transition state in which atropisomerism occurs by a cooperative rotation of the Ar-CO and Ar-Ar′ bonds depending on substituent location is proposed.

Using a combined directed ortho metalation (DoM) - Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling - directed remote metalation (DreM) approach, the alkylphenanthrenes (APs) 1-methyl- (5a), 1,7-dimethyl- (5b), 2,7-dimethyl- (Sc), 7-ethyl-1-methyl- (15), and 7-tert-butyl-1-methylphenanthrenes (27) have been synthesized in four to seven steps and 21%-36% overall yields. In contrast to classical protocols, this method, which may be scaled to gram quantities, provides single isomers of APs in high purity of value as analytical standards for environmental studies. Aminocarbonylation of triflates to N,N-diethylbenzamides (9 → 10) and anionic Fries rearrangement (23 → 24) provide other potential links to DoM chemistry.
