Carbon‐13 NMR spectra of 3‐aryl‐2‐thioxo‐4‐imidazolidinones. Conformational isomerism and substituent effects

Abstract
A 13C NMR study of a series of 3‐aryl‐2‐thioxo‐4‐imidazolidinones, which are capable of existing as enantiomeric or diastereomeric rotational isomers about the aryl CN bond, shows that rates of internal rotation are slow at the probe temperature. The effects of hetero‐ and aryl‐ring substituents on hetero‐ring carbon atoms have been established.
