摘要

Except in the most hindered of cases, N,N'-diaryl N,N'-dimethyl ureas adopt a conformation with the two aryl rings disposed cis to one another. Variable temperature NMR studies reveal the rate at which the Ar-N bonds rotate as well as the conformational preference of ortho disubstituted ureas in which more than one cis orientation is possible. In general, a conformation in which the aryl rings lie close in space but with their most bulky 2-substituents aligned anti is preferred, but with particularly bulky 2-substituents, conformations in which one of the aryl rings points away from the other may also be populated.
