“…[4,5] Many commercial drugs consist of a benzothiazepine core, including quetiapine, metiapine and clotiapine with an antipsychotic mechanism of action [6][7][8][9] and bioactive compounds [2,3] such as Ca 2 + channel blockers, [10] antiviral, [11,12] antimicrobial, [13] antifungal, [14] histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) inhibitors [15] and even molecules with interesting electronic properties (Figure 1C). [16] The unusual conformational equilibrium, which has been reported multiple times, [4,5,[17][18][19] affords atropisomers. Those atropisomers, which depend on the substitution pattern can have high energy interconversion and can be separated, are non-superimposable mirror images thus, enantiomers.…”
