The first example in the literature of a compound showing anisochronous 15 N atoms resulting from diastereotopicity is described. Racemic 1,3‐dimethyl‐2‐phenyloctahydro‐1 H ‐benzimidazole was prepared and studied by 1 H, 13 C and 15 N NMR spectroscopy. If convenient conditions were used (monitored by theoretical calculations of 2 J N‐H spin–spin coupling constants), two 15 N NMR signals were observed and corresponded to the diastereotopic atoms. GIAO/density‐functional calculations of chemical shifts were not only in good agreement with the experimental values but also served as prediction tools. This study suggests that 15 N NMR spectroscopy could be used to probe chirality.
