Rotation in biphenyls with a single ortho-substituent

Barriers to rotation in a range up to 15.4 kcal mol-1 were determined by dynamic NMR spectroscopy for a series of biphenyl compounds 1a-1h and 2a-2d with a single ortho-substituent. Ab initio calculations reproduce these barriers satisfactorily
