Interesting anisotropic effects were observed for phenylglyoxamides and their respective mandelamides. Such effects were observed in experimental 1 H and 13 C NMR (in CDCl 3 , CD 3 OD, and DMSO‐ d 6 solvents) and in some cases with good correlation to theoretical 1 H and 13 C NMR DFT–GIAO (B3LYP/6‐311 + + G**//B3LYP/6‐31G*) calculations. A systematic conformational analysis of these compounds was performed in a two‐step methodology, using PM3 and DFT (B3LYP/6‐31G*) calculations; with good accomplishment and computational time economy. It was observed that intramolecular hydrogen bonding plays a significant role in the conformation of such compounds. Finally, a geminal nonequivalence of an NC H 2 moiety, in one of the alkyl side chain (R1 = R2), was found for the tertiary mandelamides studied. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
