H. Kakuda et al., X-RAY CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC STRUCTURE DETERMINATION OF SOME UNIQUE CHIRAL SULTAM DERIVATIVES, Chemical communications, (1), 1997, pp. 85-86
X-Ray diffraction analyses of the novel structures of chiral sultams 1
-3 reveal that the nitrogen atom in the N-sulfonamido sultam 1 is plan
ar, whereas the N-H bond in the N-unsubstituted sultam 2 and the N-F b
ond in the N-fluoro sultam 3 are nonplanar on the side of the smaller
alkyl substituent, contrary to expectation.
