Biaryl with ortho substituentsHow bulky are the ortho groups?Rapid rotation: atropisomers interconvert fast, behave as one speciesSlow rotation: atropisomers configurationally stable, isolableCan be resolved into single enantiomersUsed as chiral catalyst or ligand scaffold, e.g. BINOL/BINAPSmall or absent: low barrierLarge, multiple: high barrier greater than 20-24 kcal/mol
