Studies on the racemization in a series of optically active compounds 3a-e, including the steric effect of their acyl groups, are described. The first example of optically active compounds 3c and 3d, which possess axial chirality based on an acyclic imide-Ar bond, has been reported. A quite interesting result has been revealed, namely, that 3a bearing a bulky acyl group rather than a relatively small one racemized more easily. To explain this observed phenomenon, C-13 MMR experiments and the reaction with benzylamine of 3a-e were undertaken. These results suggested that the t-BuCO-N bond in 3a which racemized easily, is more twisted, compared with the RCO-N bonds in 3b-e which are relatively stable to racemization. Furthermore, the absolute configuration of 3b and 3e has been determined to be R by the CD spectrum and the X-ray crystallographic analysis of racemic 3f has been accomplished.
