Abstract
A molecule that can change shape to suit its environment (a “molecular chameleon”) is described. In solution there is an equilibrium between a compact chair conformation and an extended twist-boat conformation. Polar aprotic solvents favor the folded conformation (57% folded, 43% extended in DMSO-d6 at 50 °C) and nonpolar solvents favor the extended conformation (100% extended in CDCl3).
