1-Alkyl-5-(5-nitro-2-N-morpholinobenzylidene) barbituric acids undergo tert-amino effect reactions (T-reactions) yielding 1-alkyl-2,4,6-trioxoperhydropyrimidino-5-spiro-10′-(7′-nitro-1′,3′,4′,9′,10′,10a′hexahydro-2′-oxa)-4a′-azaphenanthrene derivatives as a mixture of (S*,S*)-and (S*,R*)-diastereomers. A novel heterophase modification of the T-reaction is proposed, which makes it possible to afford nearly pure (S*,S*)-diastereomers in high yields, whereas rearrangement reactions in solutions usually lack stereoselectivity. To our best knowledge, this is the first example of deliberate tuning stereodirection of a T-reaction by external conditions. Using X-ray diffraction analysis, we demonstrate that this diastereoselectivity of the solid state T-reaction is due to a peculiar crystal structure of starting 5-arylidene barbiturates, which accommodates only one specific conformation fixed by a strong intramolecular C−H•••π interaction.
