83. For a very special exception occurred in the syntheses of vancomycin (2, see Fig. 1), in which the initially 'wrong' configuration at the biaryl axis was corrected by thermodynamically controlled atropo-diastereomeric equilibration as achieved by heating, due to the low steric hindrance in the proximity of the axis; see: D.A.
