Non-biaryl atropisomers derived from carbohydrates. Part 4: Absolute stereochemistry of carbohydrate-based imidazolidine-2-ones and 2-thiones with axial and central chirality

NMR spectroscopy has proven to be an enabling methodology in elucidating the axial chirality of a series of non-biaryl atropisomers attached to a carbohydrate moiety, based on deshielding effects caused by the aromatic ring.
