While atropisomerism is exemplified by biaryls, it is observed in many other pharmaceutically relevant scaffolds including heterobiaryls, benzamides, diarylamines, and anilides. As bond rotation leads to racemization, atropisomers span the gamut of stereochemical stability. LaPlante has classified atropisomers based on their halflife of racemization at 37 °C: class 1 (t 1/2 < 60 s), class 2 (60 s < t 1/2 < 4.5 years), and class 3 (t 1/2 > 4.5 years). In general, class-3 atropisomers are considered to be suitable for drug development.
