Though opticalactivity due to axial chiralitywas first reported by Christie and

Kenner in 1922,1 but the term Atropisomerism was coined by Richard Kuhnlater in 1933.2

From Greek: anot

t roposto turn

Atropisomerism is that kind of isomerism, where the conformers (called

atropisomers) can be isolated as separate chemical species and which arise fromrestricted rotation about a single bond.

Axis of Chirality: An axis about which a set of atoms/functional groups/ligands is

held so that it results in a spatial arrangement that is not superimposable on its

mirror image.

Nobel Laureate in chemistry (1938)

1. Two necessary preconditions for axial chirality are:

i. a rotationally stable axis

ii. Presence of different substituents on both sides of the axis

2. Atropisomers are recognised as physically separable species when, at a given temperature, they have a half life

of atleast 1000 s (16.7 min) [1000 s].

3. The minimum required free energy barriers at different temperatures are as below.G200K= 61.6 kJmol

-1

G300K= 93.5 kJmol-1

G350K= 109 kJmol-1

4. The configurational stability of axially chiral biaryl compounds is mainly determined by three following factors:

i. The combined steric demand of the substituentsin the proximity of the axis

ii. The existence, length, and rigidity of bridges

iii. Atropsiomerization mechanism different from a merely physical rotation about the axis, e.g.

photochemically or chemically induced processes.

Nomenclature of Atrop isomers3

1. Notations used for Atropisomers:

aR(axially Rectus) or P(plus)

aS(axially Sinister) or M(minus)2. Priority of the substituents are determined by the CIP rule.3. Here it is assumed that priority of A>B andA>B.

1. X-ray chrystallography: Though X-ray (or neutron) diffraction provides only a static picture of atropisomerism, yet

that is essential for knowing the torsional angle and the preferred conformation.

2. Electron Diffraction: Almenningen et al. used this method for 2,2-dithienyl in finding the angle of twist of 34 .

3. Electronic Spectra (UV and Visible): Hindering the planarity (steric inhibition of resonance) modified the

absorption (hypsochromic-blue shift-and hypochromic effects). Braudesequation (cos2= / 0) has been used to

find the torsional angles in 2-arylindoles, 1-aryl imidazoles etc.

4. Dipole moment: Dipole moments can be estimated by a vector sum that depends upon the conformation.

5. Depolarised Rayleigh Scattering (DRS): Rioux and Clement used this method to calculate the dihedral angles of

1-arylpyrazoles.

6. Basic Measurements (pKa) and reactivity: Steric inhibition of resonance increases the basicity, e.g. the basicity

of N-arylpyrazoles increases by about 0.5 pKa units, when a methyl group is introduced at position-5.

7. Substituent Constants (Hammett & Taft values): The hammett and Taft values are sensitive to steric hindrance

and they suggest the degree of non-planarity of both the aryl groups.

8. Static and Dynamic NMR: Together with crystallography, HPLC, and theoretical calculations, NMR is the technique

that has contributed most to the understanding of this phenomenon. Atropisomers are detectable by NMR if half

lives exceed 0,001 s.

There are conceptually four different strategies:

1. Atropodiastereoselective biaryl coupling reactions of chirally modified arenes with internal asymmetric

induction. In this case the stereogenic element remains in the target molecule.

2. Atropdiastereoselective coupling of arenes by applying an artificial chiral bridge.

3. Dynamic kinetic resolutionsof configurationally labile biaryls.

4. The efficient atropoenantioselectivebiaryl coupling.

1. Based on the famous atropisomer antiboiotic VANCOMYCIN,it is explained in a limerick.

It's a chemical stroke of good luckWhen a hindered rotation gets stuck.

If conformers are cool,Atropisomersrule

When Gram-positive germs run amuck.(http:/ /www.oedilf .com/db/Lim.php)

2. Atropisomers are abundant in nature and their structural variety is broad ranging from simple biphenyls to highly

complex glycopeptides.

3. Quite a number of powerful and reliable methods have been developed for the construction of the chiral biaryl axis.

4. However, atropoenantioselective methods are still rare.

5. With the steadily growing number of natural products with chiral biaryl axis, both further refinement of the existing

methods and development of novel strategies are necessary to address their syntheses.
