Notes:
3-(S)-(1-phenylethyl)-5-methyl- and 5-phenyl-rhodanine have been studied by single crystal X-ray crystallography. The crystals of the 5-methyl compound were shown to contain equal amounts of the 5-(R) and 5-(S) diastereomers, while the crystals of the 5-phenyl compound only contain the 5-(S) diastereomer. The UV and CD spectra of the 5-H2 compound have been analyzed on the basis of CNDO/S calculations, and the CD spectrum has been reproduced by semiempirical calculations.The 5-methyl diastereomers can be partly separated by chromatography on triacetylcellulose, and the CD spectra of the individual forms can be evaluated. The 5-phenyl compound undergoes rapid epimerization in solution, and also for this compound the CD spectra of both forms can be evaluated. The contribution of the 5-substituent follows Ripperger's sector rule for dithiocarbamates. Chirality 9:568-577, 1997. © 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
