3CS7 - PubMed Abstract: 
Ortho-substituted biphenyl moieties are widely used in drug design. We herein report a successful use of the perpendicular conformation of the alpha-substituted phenylcyclopropyl groups to mimic the aplanar, biologically active conformation of the ortho-substituted biphenyl moieties to achieve structural diversity ...
