ChemInform Abstract
8-Substituted tertiary 1-naphthamides (I), (II) are chiral, atropisomeric compounds at room temperature, and the rate at which they racemize depends on the extent to which the 8-substituent undergoes incipient nucleophilic addition to the amide carbonyl group, as indicated by X-ray crystallography.
