Abstract

Atropisomeric N-methyl-N,N′-diaryl ureas may be obtained in enantiomerically enriched form by oxidative kinetic resolution of their sulfide derivatives. The atropisomeric sulfides may be obtained in up to 97:3 er and display high stability to racemisation (half-lives at 25 °C of up to 500 years). Unlike related fully alkylated ureas, the product sulfoxides exhibit relatively weak thermodynamic conformational selectivity.
