Several N-aryl-substituted thioamides with an axis of chirality along the N-C(aryl) bond were prepared in good to excellent yields. NMR spectra revealed preferences for the E rotamer (along the N-C(=S) bond). X-ray crystallographic analysis showed that the planes of the aryl and thioamide groups were almost perpendicular (79°). For the first time, these atropisomeric thioamides were used for an asymmetric Claisen rearrangement. LDA deprotonation led selectively to the enethiolates of Z stereochemistry, and subsequent reaction with a variety of allyl halides furnished S-allyl keteneaminothioacetals. These intermediates were not detected as they rearranged readily to γ-unsaturated thioamides in good to high yields and diastereoselectivities up to 88:12. Chemical correlation allowed the assignment of the (aR*,2R*) configuration to the major diastereoisomer. A model was proposed to explain the stereochemical course of the thio-Claisen rearrangement.
