    Abstract

    The orientation of Ar-C, Ar-N and Ar-O bonds in biaryls, N,N′-diarylureas and diaryl ethers (whose conformers are distinguishable by NMR) may be controlled with a selectivity up to >95: 5 by an adjacent stereogenic centre; the selectivity may be greater when a second stereogenic axis is inserted between the controlling centre and the slowly rotating bond. © The Royal Society of Chemistry.
