Abstract

A series of cis-preferential aromatic N-methyl amides was designed and synthesized, and acid-induced conformational alteration of these compounds was investigated by means of NMR measurements in solution and X-ray crystal structure analysis. Compounds with a terminal N-methyl-N-(2-pyridyl) amide unit showed acid-induced conformational change from cis to trans, while those with a terminal N-methyl-2-pyridinecarboxamide unit showed ...
