The favored (RS*, M*) diastereoisomer of 2-aryl-pyridine 1 in the solution state results from intramolecular dipole− dipole interactions. In the crystalline state, intermolecular interactions dominate, and the conformation switches reversibly to (RS*, P*). Only racemic 1 exhibits this switching property: enantiomerically pure 1 exists as the (RS*, M*) diastereoisomer in both the solution and crystalline state.
