Barriers to rotation in ortho-substituted tertiary aromatic amides: Effect of chloro-substitution on resonance and distortion
Planarity of the amide bond represents one of the most widely recognized properties of amides. Herein, we report a combined structural and computational study on the effect of ortho-substitution on resonance and barriers to rotation in tertiary aromatic amides. We demonstrate that ortho-chloro substitution in a class of benzamides that are important from the reactivity and medicinal chemistry perspective results in increased barriers to rotation around both the N-C(O) and C-C(O) axes. The effect of steric hindrance on structures, resonance energies, barriers to rotation, and proton affinities is discussed. The present study strongly supports the use of ortho-substitution in common benzamide…
